Life, so full of minor interruptions..
When I write, I write to purge things from my head for any number of reasons.
That it turns out to be a story and have humor seems to be secondary actually.
Not sure if I can explain it fully or adequately.
That a machine hates you would be an unnerving experience.
To have it proactively act against you would be unbearable.
How would you know which machine 'started' it?
Or whether or not the machine is acting independantly or not?
How would you find out without having autodrive cars run you down in the streets?
*chuckle*
I'm not sure what I'd do with the story.
I don't have a good track record for being able to finish stories longer than two or three paragraphs.
(How would you know if you've 'won' against the machines?)
They would stop fighting against you.
I didn't know how long my first book would be. Now the basic story is something like three books in length, and will probably double again.
I see this story developing into a novelette length easily. First you establish that there is some form of antipathy from the machine world to the protagonist.
Then you describe his attempts to avoid the interaction -- his escape from civilisation. Next would be the machine finding him, and using its capabilities to return him to the fold.
Then would come his confrontation with the machine entity, what ever form it takes.
Finally, you have the dénouément, where everything reaches an ending point, one way or the other. You may perhaps follow that with a moral lesson to be derived in some way.
You probably owe it to yourself to complete a story of some type. If not this one, then another of your choosing. It is educational and satisfying to do it. Your sister had a very good beginning on a romantic vampire story line also.
You also have the advantage of being able to produce the illustrations for your story. I think you should proceed.
