| 3 | Set TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture, Emma, a teenage student, lives a fairly normal life. One afternoon, frustrated and bored, she installs a chatterbot app called ''Turry'' on her phone. Turry proves surprisingly eloquent, if weird, and she ends up chatting with him a lot. Soon, events pile up that indicate that Turry is very much not a normal chatbot... |

| 8 | !!''Seed'' contains examples of: |
| 9 | |
| 10 | * ArtificialIntelligence: Turry |
| 11 | ** AIIsACrapshoot / BenevolentAI: [[spoiler: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-zagged]] ''and'' [[DiscussedTrope discussed]]. In fact, one of the main themes of the story is whether Turry is the former or the latter, and what exactly makes an AI benevolent or not.]] |
| 12 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: Turry views the world very differently from the human characters, and at times takes actions they find highly reprehensible, such as [[spoiler: nearly drowning a rude classmate]] or [[spoiler: causing a ''car crash and hospitalizing someone'' in order to get them to work together]]. |
| 13 | * EverythingIsOnline: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that not only is technology more advanced, most devices also make heavy use of cloud computing, and the AI-based security systems employed are considered to be effectively insurmountable - which is correct, [[spoiler: unless the hacker is a General AI]]. |
| 14 | ** This becomes a major plot point later on, when the protagonists need to be able to run a computer without a connection to the network, and the lengths they need to go to to get there. |
| 15 | * ShoutOut: Turry's design is based on [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey HAL 9000]], and his name is based on a blog post by Tim Urban. |
