Doweyko brings provocative insight testing/questioning our own philosophies of humanity and technology. Andrew the Last makes profound contribution to science fiction literature.
Doweyko's clearly brilliant, and always effortlessly compelling!
Read the story when first published and was quite impressed1
Wonderfully described, haunting tale.
Unique style
A unique style
Impossible to stop reading. Even as the story triggers my own imagination, the finish shows I didn't see far enough. Entertaining and provocative.
Arthur's words instantly transport me into the story's milieu. Thought provoking. Well done !
I really haven't done much reading lately, but this short story is very thought provoking in a time when there is so much discussion about AI.
Intriguing premise. Clean, concise, good dialogue. Captivating.
I thought the story - Andrew the last - had a good punchline and, in keeping the tradition of good sci-fi, tackles a topic (the AI built in humAnIty) that has yet to be properly tackled. Intriguing.
Excellent style, interesting subject. But most important, I have to read more works by Dr. Doweyko.
Interesting twist - great detail.
Great style
unique style, always refreshing
This guy is great!
