520    When Neill's father committed suicide ten years ago, he 
       left behind thousands of pages of secret journals, 
       journals that are stunning in their detail, and, it must 
       be said, their complete banality. But their spectacularly 
       quotidian details, were exactly what artificial 
       intelligence company Amiante Systems was looking for, and 
       Neill was able to parlay them into a job, despite a 
       useless degree in business marketing and absolutely no 
       experience in computer science. He has spent the last two 
       years inputting the diaries into what everyone hopes will 
       become the world's first sentient computer. Essentially, 
       he has been giving it language--using his father's words. 
       Alarming to Neill--if not to the other employees of 
       Amiante--the experiment seems to be working. The computer 
       actually appears to be gaining awareness and, most 
       disconcerting of all, has started asking questions about 
       Neill's childhood.
