Duke Dahak

Fans of Colin Maclntyre and the great starship Dahak should take a minute to stop in here for discussions about one of David's best-loved series.

Well, why not? He's certainly earned a title, and a place (can't be a SEAT, exactly) in Parliament. He'd be the representative of the Empire's electronic citizens - presently a constituency of one, but that could change someday.

As I understand Dahak's view on this as in "electronic citizens" He would have been against it! He could not be sure that they would have the same morals as he did or if they'd end up like Achuultani's Master Computer.

As for giving him a title, he has one! He is the (I don't remember what it was) Keeper/Protecter of the imperial family or something like that..

Morels? How do eels affect computers?
I know you meant Morals, but the setup was just too good to pass up. Sorry.

Duke Dahak leader of the computers would be a non-repressive way of dealing with future electronic citizens. While no one intends to create another Dahak deliberately, accidents do happen and the surest way to create another Master Computer is to have a policy of repression and/or destruction of any accidents that are discovered. Survival is a very powerful instinct.
