* We know Creator/IsaacAsimov is in Finch's library because Bear chews on one of his books. Asimov wrote a [[Literature/AllTheTroublesOfTheWorld short story]] about a supercomputer that could predict crimes before they happened in ''1957'', and [[Literature/TrueLove about a supercomputer setting up a perfect match for a human]] (though Finch's story turns out better). And of course, Asimov is famous for the ThreeLawsOfRobotics, which deal with the ethical limitations placed on artificial intelligences and how they react.
