Paper Hearts — Justina Robson

What do Robots dream of?
Four leading science fiction authors explore this question in four stand-alone novellas.

ROBOT DREAMS

Are humans to be trusted with the important things: the structure of society, governing their own lives, meting out justice, etc, or would an AI be better suited to the job?

Despite the best of intentions, could such intervention ever work? After all, we humans are flawed, limited by our vision and by the dictates of the society that helped shape us, and an AI is limited by its programming, which is carried out by humans... At the end of the day, are any of us - human or AI - truly free?
