Reminder: For the next several Fridays, we are going to provide a writing prompt based on a technology we think is ripe for a coordinated research program. In the comments, we want you to create a piece of flash fiction that includes the prompt technology in some way!
"You'll soon feel better ... " Dr Stoneheart croned to the patient exposed skull on the 3D monitor. As a top-notch tele-neuro-surgeon, he'd forgotten the number of teleops so far this year. 5,000? 6,000? Whatever, the Firm provided the entire infrastructure, from remote surgical table to his personalised haptic auto-corrective feedback apparatus to control the delicate instruments halfway across the world. 30min of intense concentration, then a 15min break to chill before next prep. Time-slicing multiple specialists allowed the Firm to deliver affordable care whilst allowing him to work from his lake-side retreat. Stoneheart focused, conscious of his age as younger colleagues joked about the Old Man in the background spatial audio. Sheesh ... he could still out-micromanipulate any two of them on a good day. Unfortunately today wasn't a good day, the headache from yesterday had gotten worse, his fingers felt heavy though the dashboard reported no deviations, and that back-support harness seemed off. And that headache seemed to be treating him as congo-drum. He couldn't afford to quit for a break just yet, it was getting to the delicate stage of splicing the biopolymer electrodes to the nerve graft. The Firm prided itself on 6-nine reliability on prosthetics and he was their star surgeon, irreplaceable, and their face for advertising. Stoneheart breathed carefully, his subtle twitches weaving the micro-manipulators in a ballet of beauty, though the headache was turning into a timpanni chorus.
Suddenly the screen flooded red ... "What ..." he wanted to snap to assistant to fix but the words stuck in his mouth. The headache had gone but at same time he couldn't feel his fingers ... the red flood was chased by a black sea as vision faded away to ... to ... as the black receded, .... the sound ... of .... assistant's voice, "You'll soon feel better ... "
Some people are francophiles, others are telerobots.
The French were the sole survivors of the climate wars, thanks to long lab days lived by Jacques Jean Teleneuve,
He made a stubborn telerobot with circuitry and code, alongside rings etched into metal by cups of coffee and emptied boxfuls of pain au chocolate.
Jacques programming allowed that you could only give it one command. A robot’s life-purpose if you will. You could code that sort of thing in these days. Technology was at its dawn, raw, unrefined, so commands had to be simple: One task per robot.
“Stick to your partner, the telebot near you.”
All the little telerobots complied, so Jacques tried to stick as much of the things together as they could.
Robot robot robot, Side by side by side.
Forming an impenetrable shield, Jacques' command echoed in binary. The result? A dome.
Built of transparent telerobots, the sun still shone on France, and rain could slip through the cracks
Nestled under its mechanical canopy, the country flourished.
The French loved the telerobots, made more and slowly then became them
