The Sword and Laser discussion

Spoiler Alert - one of the bigger twists of the book is coming right up.

(view spoiler)[...So, what do you all think about talking to yourself, basically meeting yourself? This is what M-Bot basically does, even though it's framed more as having a kid with ART, but M-Bot 2.0 is mostly a copy of its personality. Would you like to meet yourself?
I am actually not sure I would relate very well with me ;) (hide spoiler)]
