"Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise" in Interzone

[mount_oregano]

My short story "Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise" is in the January-February 2011 Interzone magazine, issue 232, with outstanding artwork by Ben Baldwin.

Briana, an American university student, has come to Spain on a study abroad project, and the computer-program that assists her will do anything to make the visit a success: "When Letitia Serrano synched her phone to Brianna’s, I defeated its firewall and entered. I’m a benign program and would only observe through its microphone and camera, so I saw no ethical problems...."

Thank you. I think the most important word in the story is the last one.

Hi, just wanted to let you know that I read your story in interzone and very much enjoyed it. I have never before been moved to contact an author after reading a story but I found your ideas of benevolent and deceptive artificial intelligences to be fascinating. I look forward to reading your novel Transplants when it is published.

Thanks! The novel is now scheduled to be released in March 2012, and I'll keep everyone posted.
