Adam Abels thinks of himself as dark and dangerous but he writes science fiction that pokes fun at dark and dangerous things. He sees artificial intelligence as more liberating than threatening. For example, " The House of Clockwork Women." "The Clock that Runs Sideways," and "The Clock Struck None."<br><br>Adam worked for decades in an agency that annoyed interests that needed to be annoyed. He is now being annoying on a freelance basis. He focuses on this era's acceptable prejudices. Readers who are behind that curve will be offended.<br><br>
