Many AIs that came out of the networks in the 2050s never fought. For every government or college student there was a corporation that made one to represent them in the digital age. Microsoft’s Cortana, Blizzard’s Nova, Disney’s Snow White, and Dreamworks’ Fiona are several examples of such personas. These corporate AIs rarely engaged in hostilities, though there are the rumors of corporate espionage and of course the various digital shenanigans they aimed at each other. They truly enjoyed embarrassing the competition…

Veterans who came home from Vietnam had many problems. Anti-war activists assaulted them upon their return while others merely ignored them. Even those who supported them rarely understood what they’d gone through. Chemical weapons and combat trauma left their marks on the veterans and many of them couldn’t return to the life they’d had before. They couldn’t keep jobs, houses, or even families. For many their lives fell apart.

I lost a lot when the Shang attacked but I’m nowhere near alone in that. Ken became one of my best friends during The War. He was born in Los Angeles and lived there all his life until Yosemite fell. He only spoke of what he saw that day once that I ever heard. It’s his story to tell and I won’t repeat it even here. But let’s just say that Buckaroo Banno had a lot of reasons to drop his surfboard and volunteer. And he had a lot of reasons to kill Shang. But who am I kidding? Most of us did.

Around two-dozen different major AIs made themselves famous during the 2050s, fighting alongside the college programmers or government think tanks that created them. Dixie of Texas Tech and Elizabeth of Cambridge became the most famous of those who stayed with humanity. Dixie became famous right away. She even got a show out of the deal. Elizabeth took a long time to come out of the network, though we know what she did now. The Rogue AIs were a threat many did not recognize at first, but we surely recognize them now.
