Part OneATLANTIC OCEANNARRATORThose were the years after the ice caps had melted becauseof the greenhouse gases, and the oceans had risen to drownso many cities along all the shorelines of the world.Amsterdam. Venice. New York. Forever lost.Millions of people were displaced, climate became chaotic.Hundreds of millions of people starved in poorer countries.Elsewhere, a high degree of prosperity survived when mostgovernments in the developed world introduced legalsanctions to strictly license pregnancies, which was whyrobots, who were never hungry and who did not consumeresources beyond those of their first manufacture, were soessential an economic link in the chain mail of society.LIBRARY-CYBERTRONICS CORP.HOBBYTo create an artificial being has been the dream of mansince the birth of science. Not merely the beginning of themodern age, when our forebears astonished the world with thefirst thinking machines: primitive monsters that could playchess.How far we have come. The artificial being is a reality ofperfect simulacrum, articulated in limb, articulate inspeech, and not lacking in human response…SHEILAAhhh!!HOBBY...and even pain memory response.How did that make you feel? Angry? Shocked?SHEILAI don't understand.

HOBBYWhat did I do to your feelings?SHEILAYou did it to my hand.HOBBYAye. There's the rub. Undress.At Cybertronics of New Jersey, the artificial being hasreached its highest form. Universally adopted mecha, thebasis for hundreds of models, serving the human race in allthe multiplicity of daily life.That's far enough. But we have no reason to congratulateourselves. We are, rightly, proud of it, but what does itamount to?Sheila, open.A sensory toy, with intelligent behavioral circuits, usingneurone sequencing technology as old as I am. I believe thatmy work on mapping the impulse pathways in a single neuronecan enable us to construct a mecha of a qualitativelydifferent order. I propose that we build a robot, who canlove.TEAM MEMBER #1Love?TEAM MEMBER #2But we ship thousands of lover models every month.TEAM MEMBER #3Of course, you're your own best customer, Siyatsu-sama.TEAM MEMBER #2Quality control is…very important!HOBBYTell me, what is love?SHEILALove is first widening my eyes a little bit and quickeningmy breathing a little and warming my skin and touching withmy -HOBBYAnd so on. Exactly so. Thank you, Sheila.But I wasn't referring to sensuality simulators. The wordthat I used was love. Love like the love of a child for itsparents. I propose that we build a robot child, who canlove. A robot child who will genuinely love the parent orparents it imprints on, with a love that will never end.TEAM MEMBER #3A child substitute mecha?HOBBYBut a mecha with a mind, with neuronal feedback. You seewhat I'm suggesting is that love will be the key by whichthey acquire a kind of subconscious never before achieved.An inner world of metaphor, of intuition, of self motivated

reasoning. Of dreams.TEAM MEMBER #4A robot that dreams?HOBBYYes.TEAM MEMBER #4And how exactly do we pull this off?FEMALE TEAM MEMBERYou know, it occurs to me... um...with all this animusexisting against mechas today, it isn't simply a question ofcreating a robot who can love, but isn't the real conundrum- can you get a human to love them back?HOBBYOurs will be a perfect child caught in a freeze-frame -always loving, never ill, never changing. With all thechildless couples yearning in vain for a license, our littlemecha would not only open an entirely new market, it willfill a great human need.FEMALE TEAM MEMBERBut you haven't answered my question. If a robot couldgenuinely love a person, what responsibility does thatperson hold toward that mecha in return?It's a moral question, isn't it?HOBBYThe oldest one of all. But in the beginning, didn't Godcreate Adam to love him?CRYOGENIC HOSPITALMONICAThe baby was born as the first leaves of autumn fell. A babyboy. And Marion's wish came true. The boy had white hair. Hewas baptized Martin after his grandfather.HENRYDr Frazier. Hi. It's good to see you.DR.FRAZIERHi. How're you?HENRYListen, there was an article by Randenbach in the Journal ofChinese Medicine - they're talking about these viruslocators....DR.FRAZIERHello again, Monica.HENRY... microscopic, synthetic hunter killers. Did you read thatarticle?
