mount_oregano: Cover art for "Dual Memory! (Dual Memory)

In my novel Dual Memory, the main character, Antonio, is always polite to the AIs that operate machines on the hunch that they appreciate it.

From Chapter 7:

I take a deep breath, stretch tense back muscles, pick up the pad, and get on the elevator. “Ground floor, please.” Maybe machines really don’t care if you’re polite. Maybe I’m fooling myself. But I say “Thank you” as I enter the house. I’m going to need all the friends here I can get.

Some readers scoffed at his weird precaution, but it turns out that one of our own here-and-now AIs does seem to appreciate politeness.
