@PatrickoftheG oh, and I’ve been enjoying all of the October Daye books (I get read aloud to while cooking), most recently I’ve been hearing Naomi Kritzer’s #CatNet books. They are most excellent.
What’s also excellent is Ryka Aoki’s #LightFromUncommonStars
Just because I can't prove that @naomikritzer 's ailurophilic AI doesn't exist, here's a picture of Tulip sitting on a table.
@dea There's a better version of this, by @naomikritzer , in which the "internet god" is actually nice and just wants to look at photos of your kitty cat.
Then there are the real edge cases—what about Naomi Kritzer's #CatNet novels? There are almost no animals in them. Yet they're entirely about anthropomorphizing a computer program. That's kinda #furry. Sure, I wouldn't actually label them furry. But they do have some of that feel—that sense of trying to imagine the humanity of something non-human.
Arguably, every android character ever written is furry, because androids are anthropomorphic machines. By this logic, Data from #StarTrek is furry.
