In my novella series MarsX I had the AI building giant manufacturing plants to expand its infrastructure. But in the novella the AI built AFTER it became intelligent not BEFORE. Excerpt from Book 1: Two years later the three were flying back to Novara from DC where they had first gone to be received by the president who honored them for their work in getting two million more people to Mars. They had then taken a trip to the company's manufacturing plant north of Atlanta for a tour of some of the new production lines Harold and Robert had designed.

Speculative hard science fiction needs more research, maybe further development of theory and might be decades/centuries away. My style of writing could be considered big idea and adventure with a touch of romance (sometimes). One reviewer compared my writing to Isaac Asimov's writing. I love Asimov, and I think that's ...
