The Lifecycle of Software Objects

Ted Chiang

In this thought-provoking novella, Ted Chiang explores the best way to create artificial intelligence by imagining how teaching machines to understand and speak English could work in a world of startups and online gaming. Follow the lives of two people and the AIs they helped create over a decade, as they navigate the challenges of upgrades and obsolescence. This is a story about the difference between processing power and intelligence, and what it means to have a real relationship with an artificial entity.
