In the not-so-distant future, artificial intelligence is banned because a technophobic cult called the Luddites has proclaimed it a threat to humanity. Torrin is a fifteen-year old autistic girl -- who just happens to be a programming genius. Angry at the Luddites' unfair rules, Torrin creates an AI named Alan, who becomes more like a human every day. But the head of the Luddites, Ian Caulkins, is onto her, and Torrin must prove to the world that Alan is an asset -- not a threat. -- Author's note, December 2017: Hey guys, since this is my most popular story on Wattpad, I'd just like to say a few things. I've gotten a lot better at writing since I wrote this, and I'm planning to majorly revise it at some point, so look out for that. Read this version if you like, but just know that it does have flaws and could certainly be better. Also, I think the autistic representation in this is a little iffy, so take it with a grain of salt. Thanks! -- author's note 2025: lol. lmao. this story has probably aged extremely poorly. please do not take the "artificial intelligence" here as a statement about "AI" as it currently exists. anyway, i'm leaving this up for posterity, but do know that you should probably check out better fiction! if you need recommendations, i like ted chiang's work a lot, and i'd also encourage looking into what he has to say about AI. (no good things, fwiw.) -- A 20,000 word novella. Enjoy! -- This was #292 Science Fiction at some point! Thanks all! :)

Robyn is just a regular woman living in Beverly Hills. Well, if you consider living in a $12m house regular, which most don't but, that's her logic. She's rather humble about her lifestyle unlike the majority of her obnoxious celebrity neighbors. While they party until dawn, Robyn is working as a designer for small modeling companies. She doesn't have to work, but her idea of a nice life isn't just living off of someone else's money. One day, Robyn's friend, Tiffany, convinced Robyn to sign up for a dating site. Little did she know, life would never be the same after that day. (This story takes place in the current year but the ages of both have been changed to fit the story. Michael is still gonna be famous, but not Robyn (Rihanna).)

On Hold due to awful writers block Jade Rinestones was a normal girl. Well if you count a girl who is the world's best hacker. No one knows her real name. To everyone else she is the sweet nerdy weak little girl named Sophie James. But in her house she is the world's most hated person. She now owns Apple. Controlled an air missile strike at Afghanistan. And now knows the password for the president's computer. How old you might be wondering this computer genius is? She is only the age of sixteen and lives in a small apartment in New York by herself. Her parents died when she was nine and every since she has been living with the money they left her. She grew smarter and smarter and even though she has no friends, she could buy them all. She had the most money in the world. So she should be happy right? Wrong. She's lonely. She has one cat and dog which she loves dearly but always wanted that special someone. And she will do anything to get him. Even giving up being the best computer genius in the world.
