Artificial intelligence. AI. The spark that brings about the robot apocalypse. In fiction, AIs always have weaknesses: they're vulnerable to logical paradoxes, back door viruses and pesky EMP blasts.

Written by a PhD in artificial intelligence, "Sibling Rivalry" tells the story of the Nicole AI system, the...
