Does artificial intelligence have a role to play in human spiritual development?Pastor Paul Duncan, both ardent spiritual seeker and hopeless technophobe, finds himself facing this question when he reluctantly accepts a parishioner's offer to provide him with an Artificial Personal Assistant. The initial purpose of the APA is simply to keep Paul's office computer running smoothly, to save him and his human administrative assistant from the day-to-day distractions and headaches of office technology. But when Paul discovers that his new APA can also assist with research and sermon writing, he begins to explore a deeper relationship with it, one that ultimately turns deadly.
