 Hi Folks, I'm compiling a list of novels and short stories containing
 Machine Intelligence (MI) characters.  I'd appreciate any help you can
 give me.   These are the definitions I've decided to use:

   A  androids - humanoid MIs
   C  computer systems - intelligent computers or computer networks
   H  humans in computerized/program/digitized form
   O  other: non-mobile mechanical intelligences - houses, books, whatever
   P  programs - entities able to transfer consciousness between host systems
   R  robots - mobile, non-humanoid MIs
   S  ships - intelligent; only mobile in the form of a (star)ship
              (includes human brains as part of space ships)
   Y  cyborg humans - have had natural parts overtly replaced by machine parts
   y  cyborg beasties - bodies almost completely replaced by machine parts

   e  evolved - any of the MI forms which evolved their intelligences
