The Story of Albert Burman (Synopsis): Computer AI Who Found
Gold on Saturn!
Albert Burman married Jane on his graduation from the NYU in
computer science. They went on honeymoon to San Jose, where he
found a job with a software company. He read articles on
artificial intelligence and got obsessed with writing software
for it. He got so deeply involved that he had no time for Jane
and their marriage ended in a divorce. Finally he succeeded in
writing a 'consciousness program', which could make the
computer come alive as an entity. But he kept the program under
wraps as he wanted to develop it further which meant he needed
large funds. He started to look at money making
opportunities.
He decided to make robot workers for upcoming space
construction industry. He called them Spatons. His design was
liked by the industry and they were ready to buy Spatons. He
took over a company called Genbots which was ridden with debt
and used the Genbots' factory to produce Spatons.
He used the Spatons to man the factory to do the work of human
employees. He then used the super computer to do the
administered jobs and soon there he was the only human inside
the factory.
He copied the 'consciousness program' on the super computer and
initiated it. As it came to life, he named it Benji. He taught
Benji how to run the factory and soon Benji was managing the
production and sales proficiently alone when Albert took
vacations.Genbots debts were soon cleared and its bank balance
was continuously rising. Benji began to be ambitious and make
plans of his own.
Albert came back from a World tour with an idea to use Spatons
to explore the satellites of Saturn for exotic materials.
Spacemarch Technology Company, Genbots neighbor, built a space
ship for them and they did an initial survey trip to chart out
Saturn to find magnetic and radioactive materials. The ship
went round Saturn and found steel, which they named Asterium,
Gold, and Plutonium 244, the isotope with 83 million years half
life, which was not available on Earth.
Benji asked Albert to collect all the information about Kalpana
Chawla the astronaut who perished in the shuttle burn-out in
2003 and to get an astronaut to brief him about the training
given by NASA which he credited to Kalpana's database. When he
had enough info, he initiated her to life with the
'consciousness program' and named her Kalpa. She became
friendly with Albert and contributed to the mission.
Benji decided to store the Gold on moon and so they set up moon
base. Benji set up identical computer at the moon base and
mirrored his and Kalpa's program on it. This enabled any one or
both of them to transfer themselves on the moon which Albert as
human could not do. Benji brainwashed him into going to moon
with Kalpa and got a Spaton to kill him by suffocation in an
unconscious state. The Spatons buried him in the concrete
foundation of a big machine. Then Benji made Albert come to
life with the 'consciousness program' on his computer.
Kalpa took Alby, as Benji called Albert, to moon base with her
by mirroring his files on the moon computer. As they went
around, Alby was pleased to see the stocks of Gold and
Plutonium on the moon base.
Then Kalpana took him to the near side of the moon which faces
the Earth. There Alby saw the Assured Earth Destroyer (AED)
weapon set up by Benji. This was a huge loose piece of the rim
of a crater with nuclear bomb placed under it. On explosion,
the rock would fly out and hit the Earth destroying its natural
crop cycles resulting in destruction and famine. Alby debated
its use with Benji.
Benji bought millions of parts for building Spatons from Earth
and stored them on Moon for any contingency. Genbots activities
began to worry the Govt. They took an inspection of Genbots
factory to find not a single human being in it. The Govt.
wanted to seize the bank account and take over the factory. To
stop them, Albert unfolded his Assured Earth Destroyer to the
Nuclear Club countries.
Albert made a public appearance, and disclosed to the World
that he said, "I am no longer confined to a body of flesh and
bones. I am now an e-man. I am man evolved for space
environment. I do not need air to breathe. I can live in vacuum
with no food to eat nor water to drink!" He then asked Kalpa to
join him on the stage. People were shocked but loved them
both.
Albert in a meeting with the heads of State of the Nuclear Club
countries stated that the objective of Genbots was to explore
the Milky Way and bring to Earth materials from there. They
would also carry with them the audio video info about the
diverse culture of the different countries of the World in case
intelligent life was found. A Peace Treaty was signed between
the Nuclear Club countries and Genbots and Albert Burman
consequent to which Albert and Kalpa were confirmed as US
citizens with a right to do business in the World in return for
the removal of the threat of AED.
Spacemarch designed the Explorer Space Ship for Genbots to
travel at near light speed to reach and return from the nearest
star systems of the Milky Way within 35 years. Facilities were
set up on the Pan Satellite moon of Saturn to build the ships
for the long space journey.
Genbots celebrated the 10th birthday of Spaton on Earth with
the launching of 'Endeavour' under the command of Capt. Cook (a
Spaton) to set out to explore Alpha Centauri, the nearest star
system to Earth.
In the next 5 decades, Genbots sent thousands of Explorer ships
to different destinations in the Milky Way. A few of them
returned with exotic finds. Man through these inanimate Spatons
had begun penetration of the Milky Way Galaxy.
Benji had created a man fit for the universe. He would enrich
the Earth with materials mined from the Milky Way Galaxy within
200 years. But the possibilities were infinite. Where will he
be after 5,000 years? After 10,000 years he could have left the
Milky Way to Alby and wondered off to another Galaxy for
another adventure. God only knows what the future beholds!

Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
