This week I share an amazing lecture Martha Wells gave on AI characters in science fiction stories. Quite often these stories involve the enslavement of sentient beings.

I also talk (very) briefly about the heroine’s journey.LinksCheck out my novel, Critical Balance.Have you read Critical Balance?
