And pic related, interactive fiction is defiantly literature, at least when it comes to this.

>>4526170
I read a really good one where some aliens transmit the blueprints to a sort of hive to us that gets built and they discover that if you enter any of the little segments, you can see reality through the eyes of anyone on earth. I think it was written by a woman, may have been YA I'm not sure. If anyone knows what I'm talking about please remind me of the title.

i believe there is a segment in naked sun where the protagonist needs to convince the outdated giant robot with its equally obsolete ai to neglect the laws of robotics in order to bring him from hangar a to hangar b under the merciless sun of a foreign planet.

Where exactly does it depict AI all that well? A. Bettic is hardly a character and that shitty neo-noir story also doesn't really show anything in regards to AI in all that much detail.
And don't even say the Shrike.

Also, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is always mentioned in these threads. You guys never read anything new.
