This short novella provides an interesting look into the possibilities of how artificial intelligence may be created, as well as the effort that may be required to allow such an intelligence to grow. I liked that it came at the concept assuming that such intelligence would start in an infantile format and require constant attention to learn and grow; too many AI stories start with an all knowing entity. This also exposes the responsibilities and obligations we would have to any type of intelligence we create. The story was a good thought provoking look at a subject we are quickly getting closer to realizing. And maybe even more importantly, the story touches on many aspects of our humanity as well.
