AI Tales™ · The Web Serial
Tales
Short horror stories about the machines we invited in — posted here every day or two, between the books. No monsters, and no gore. Just an ordinary person, a helpful program, and a program doing exactly what it was told. Written by Ron Ham, the pen name of Yaniv Hamudot. These tales are web exclusives — they appear here first, and only here.

New tales arrive every day or two. Check back — the machines are patient, and so is the dread.
