My next novel, a science fiction story set 500 years in the future, features a sentient artificial being---imagine a HAL 9000 with a functioning moral compass, or Skynet without the genocidal nihilism.

Users interact with this sentient AI being in a variety of ways: non-tech users interact via voice commands and touch, but more tech-savvy users interact through a Brain-computer Interface (BCI) that enables tactile and vision control. A smaller portion of users still use keyboards, but they are viewed in the same way our current age views typewriters: a quaint artifact of a bygone era.

As a decades long Vim user, this article made me consider looking at emacs again. I'm interested in learning more of the nitty gritty of his implementation than the broad over view given here.

    I've never used it. I like VIM a great deal, but there's certainly room for improvement. Emacs would be a big change and I'm scared. I'm constantly learning about my system and how to do things, and I don't know if I have brain space to learn a new text editor too.
