Michaelmas (1977)Algis Budrys
In this chapter, Michaelmas and the AI Domino discuss the impossibility of fabricating a perfect clone or artificial adult personality of the astronaut Norwood, given the lack of biological samples and comprehensive data. They analyze the character and limitations of the scientist Limberg, concluding that his public persona and scientific progress make it unlikely he is leading a secret double life or fabricating Norwood, suggesting instead that Limberg has genuinely revived Norwood by unknown means. The conversation also touches on media manipulation, surveillance, and the strategic dissemination of information regarding the unfolding events.
