Re: Atticus M/Connie G
Never discussed it. Not like anyone else I've encountered. Definitely not normal. Ghosts don't like her much.
AI's in fiction are just minds trying to create. Not the same as having anything functional in 1800. World would be insanely different if they had anything even resembling a computer. Could say the creature is a metaphor for AIs, but even that's theory, not practice. Magic's more likely.
Say it is time travel. We'd see ripples, wouldn't we?
