Thanks to reader and pal Andrew Leman for rocking it all month. Check out the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society’s excellent Dark Adventure Radio Theatre production of A Solstice Carol!

I was overjoyed to find you guys had done MOXON's MASTER, the first Bierce story I ever read and certainly one that sticks with the reader. Angerbot and Hatebot reminded me of the goofy old horror/scifi comics where scientists would build really dangerous-looking machines with acronyms like Kinetic Intelligent Logical Locator Electric Robot for names and then be shocked when the things went off the rails.

I love this story because it introduces the concept which pervades all of our fears about artificial intelligence. It is the possibility that the machine will interpret its instructions differently than intended.
