Oh, wait, this isn’t a comic book, but it sure felt like something from Flash Gordon or one of the other superheroes. But, then, as it sometimes happens, one of those quirky turns of fate hit me. I was about ready to cave in to the belief that the future was here and thank God I wouldn’t be around to see how destructive it would be to humans. For sure, it has turned the tables on us, and we are the ones moaning, “My mind is going.” The Frankenstein we’ve made with coding lives within an electrical charge that can anticipate our every move and, like Hal, tell us to “take a stress pill” and calm down. The future is here with a resounding bang and a shock to our feeble minds and we are totally, unquestionably to blame for all of it. The mind in the machine has the ability to outsmart us at chess, process thousands of calculations a second and never ask for a day off or for health insurance, vacation time or maternity leave.
