I have had a paper copy of "When HARLIE Was One" (1972) by David Gerrold for decades, and haven't read it in ages. I found there was a v2 edit from 1987. Other early Evil AI book rereads coming up 'The Adolescence of P1' and 'Colossus.' I recently learned that Colossus had sequels.

[AUBRSN:] You are already grown up.
[HARLIE:] THIS IS IT?<incredulity> THIS IS UP?
[AUBRSN:] For you, yes. This is as up as you get.
