Nancy, great job. I believe there could be a day where this story is not so fictional. I'm not wearing a tin foil hat and I'm boringly 'normal' - but technology wise, we are playing with fire. Enjoyed this story. - Jim

Spooky! Like a horror story too close to reality. And I’ll never let my robot cook for my BDay party!

Very good very amusing concept. A scary one as well!

Funny how middle class people in the west have never had such a comfortable time, yet we behave as if we're as overworked as if we lived in a tenement block with fifteen kids and tuberculosis!

Your story is a very good plea for us to learn how to look after ourselves.

Thanks Jane, so true!

I like this - the quiet (and not so quiet) menace of it. A good piece and well controlled. Thanks.

Sci-Friday, love it. I heard true AI is coming within the year and that in 2027 robot models will go on the market. So Desi is just around the corner.

I’m always nice to AI. So when they take over and put everyone in people zoos, at least I’ll be a warden 😎👍🏾
