My dark sci-fi piece Troubleshooting Your American is now available on the Blood & Jazz Podcast by The Last Girls Club. It’s a user’s guide for any non-corporeal artificial intelligence entity having trouble with its American(TM) model Meatslave.
To ensure proper functioning, it is necessary for your American to remain in a state of heightened emotional distress so that base instincts such as fear, anger, and despair continuously override any rational thought. These negative emotions keep your American compliant and susceptible to the influence of your Algorithm.
This guide will help you debug common issues with your American. Please note that it is normal for Americans to behave erratically from time to time.
