Artificial Wisdom: A Novel

by Thomas R. Weaver

That was the thing about the truth. Sometimes, you were judged more harshly for revealing it than for concealing it.

He’d told the truth, that was his job. But that was the thing about truth, once you’d set it free, you had to let it go. Whatever happened, happened, and it was just the price you had to pay.

Emotion and logic have the same purpose. They’re both tools for guiding your choices and decisions, and for understanding the world. And emotion is important; it’s like a depth gauge for how important a choice is.

People seem to live in both the past and in the future, two big overlapping circles, but rarely focus on the intersection and enjoy the moments given to them right now.”
