Writing a story/book

[Angrist]

I've always had nice ideas for stories, but I never got myself to work them out. Until yesterday! Lately (thanks to Xantar) I've been thinking a lot about artificial intelligence. I'm really fascinated by the idea of creating AI by copying human emotions/decisions. I'm sure that even something as complex as human emotions and decisions are based on 'simple' cost-benefit analyses. Emotions are not inexplainable, they are as rational as anything else.

I won't go into too much detail, but I think we have a basis for AI.

Yesterday I suddenly thought "what Michael Crichton can do, I can do as well" (probably not as good though). I've read 8 books of MC so far and they all had something in common: believable yet unavailable technology going wrong.

So now I'm working out a story of an AI project going wrong. I plan to write the book in Dutch first, after that I'll try an English version (which won't be as good as the original, because my Dutch is richer than my English).

What do you think? Please don't tell me this has already been done before.
