Life is good!
And so are some androids. Data comes to mind. The one Star Trek book I read starred Data, and his new-found ~ um ~ awareness.
Suffice it to say he had several “friends” hanging around him.
I'm working up the outline of a new novel now, with a central character interested in "taking over" people in somewhat the same way the Borg did. "You will adapt to service us."
But he isn't a robot or cyborg. He's just very intelligent.
Nor does he use nanites as an infection agent. He simply reprograms the minds of those he finds malleable.
Every supergenius needs minions.
