I feel like posting (for, I think, a short time) another one of these, from the PKD (Philip K. Dick) adaptation. I think it gives me the illusion that I'm doing something, lol. I've invented the incidents and the dialogue (with the exception of a few lines) but I try to follow ideas in the book. It's a taste of some of the kinds of concerns in this story, and I'm interested if it resonates or is tiresome.
In this scene (5.5 pages) we have a main character, Jack, a repair man, who has been called to the Public School of Mars, which is staffed with AI robots, to look at a malfunctioning janitor suddenly obsessed with puke, tossing his orange sawdust stuff everywhere. It is an assignment he dreads: "I just don't like those things. They don't fool me," he has said.
Anyway, Jack finds the janitor's issue--a recursive loop, maybe a coder's private joke. He is then asked to look at another teacher, the school counselor, a Kindly Dad model (maybe a replica of Mr. Rogers), who, he is told, seems, intermittently, to be repeating himself.
Jack has just gotten a call from his wife about his neighbor who has committed suicide.
