"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.

...He simply reprograms the minds of those he finds malleable...
