Sobots
The idea of Sobots excites and frightens me at the same time, for the same reasons.
This seems like some pseudo-scientific summoning ritual; I like that:
In reality, Rity can't do much yet. On this day the scientists have a hard time just getting him to appear. They're gathered around a big-screen TV that sits like a living room centerpiece along one wall of the lab. A grad student is mugging for a mounted camera, which is supposed to recognize his face and summon his Rity. But nothing is happening.

That bugs me. Deliberately ignoring the ethical implications of one's own work is gross irresponsibility. Science without a conscience is mad science, even if it's in the real world.
That said, this is both excitingly cool and quite disturbing.
