- In my wife's (as yet unpublished) manuscript she has a chapter in which
- the 2 main characters, who work for a defense contractor, are working
- on 'The Last Words Bomb'. This is a smart bomb that first writes a

- something useful.

- During a demo for the Pentagon they program it to write something
- uncomplementary about their boss. Then it blows up some cars in the
- parking lot.
