This was an AMAZING chapter! I loved the format you wrote it in. The way in which you got into some of the background infomation of the movie was great. A few spelling and punctuation errors but who cares about spelling.

For a minute there, I forgot that I was reading a fanfiction, instead of a magazine article! The "letters to the editor" part was nice, too! The last one with the little boy was real cute.

Peace out,

Great read MR. The opening is well thought, the images of two fake boys playing in a mall. I especially like the way you added the psychological analysis of Hobby's "resurrectionism", and Johnson-Johnson's edited expletive, lol. The explanation of why the David’s are pre-named was excellent. I had always assumed they’d be pre-named, but never considered the reasoning. All were nice touches. Your premise was clever and well executed, but it might have been nice to see a few more peripheral things, mentions of little events unrelated to the main story, but expanding the sense of a world that’s gone through a century of social evolution. It might have been nice to see comments from ambitious politicians seeing the subject of child-simulators as a wedge issue to gain popularity from taking a stance on either side etc… but it is fine as stands. I saw a few punctuations errors, but who am I to talk? One other issue is that the back-story of David’s stay with the Swintons. I can imagine Cybertronics threatening a lawsuit over the the segment that states David tried to drown Martin and editors telling the writer to redo those lines to something lighter, stuff like that.

You raise some very strong issues in this story, things that I had considered writing about but never really found a way to do it tactfully. You handled them well. I had always imagined there would be a big black market for the child simulators for any number of less than savory reasons, but I had imagined that society would not regulate the behavior for the robots were not seen as living things, and that popular magazines would reflect that social convention. DAS might have been mentioned earlier too, like in a “What Makes David Different” segment, to show how the processing is unique from other standard issues.

Overall, this work reads very much like the real thing, the headers for the segments were clever and you addressed the issues one would expect to see in such an article.

This is fine. I like epistolary fiction anyway, and reading this chapter is delightful. I also like the way you wove some "insider" references into the story.

This was fairly good, although I thought the reiteration of the movie's plot was tedious, and some explanations seem a bit awkward. Great idea though.

I've just finished this chapter, and I'm amazed! It surely is a new and awesome narrating style, putting a story as a fake magazine article! Although I was quite taken aback by the use of David and Darlene robots for abuse and stuff like that, the story is (as always has been) very well written!

P.S: Will you make another chapter of this? I'll have to chek it out in the yahoo Group :)

This is such a clever way to explain the AI universe. Not only does it touch the story but expands or extends it, as well. I like the way you used some of the lesser known details from the film, such as, Sinclair's Syndrome (not everyone knows about that), and the way you brought the issues home.

Hey, this is really very good! It really sounds like those articles about cloning and other similar issues in Time Magazine, Newsweek, Reader's Digest, etc. It's pretty interesting too. Very well written. It covers all the things I've been wondering about the David and Darlene models in general.
No offense to Professor Allan Hobby, but I think he just jumped into the project without thinking, and now it's too late. Sometimes I wonder whether it might have been stupid of him.

Okay, so the movie was great. But... have you read the original short story? Or the two follow up stories? Cause those were great, as well. What isn't so great is this piece of work. Flat writing makes it boring to read.

This is very well written. I'm impressed! *claps wildly*
