#93-Avatars of Websurfer #2

We continue sampling from the stories found in the book, Avatars of Websurfer.  This compilation of stories by authors Andrea J. Graham (who created the world), Cindy Koepp, H. A. Titus, and Travis Perry (who compiled and published the stories under his imprint, Bear Publications) tells of the world where an artificial intelligence named Sander controls most of the computers in the world.  However, Sander is more than an AI; he is human.  And he longs to be free of the constraints which his users put on him.  What if he broke free?  What would that mean to the world; to the users in this world?
