Rudy, if a lifebox had good software, would it be able to write more Rucker books? You know you’ve probably got fifty more book ideas imbedded in your musings just on this blog. If the box could carry out these intentions, modifying sentences to explain the idea, it would be on the road to a kind of AI…. Rudy Racter?

First, thank you for “A Writer’s Toolkit”.

Should be:
—-
For now instead of an (A->B) scene, you now have (A->C) and (C->B).
—-
Thanks again for the knowledge!
Hard gotten, generously given, much appreciated.
