Shell is a person, and she’s an Artificial Intelligence living in a computer from the future. Detective Fisher is a person, and he’s a fictional character. Nix is a person, and she’s a magically animated action-figure (so is Nox, although he’s not a sane person). So what’s the definition of personhood? As far as I’m concerned, it’s self-initiative and personality—a person is someone who acts like a person. Everything else is semantics and theology. From the journal of Hope Corrigan. I caught the sword before it fell more than a hundred feet. “You’re not filling me with confidence,” it informed me. “Both hands.” “How are you talking?” It was the Dust of Life, of course; Ozma had used the Dust of Life on Grendel’s sword, the same stuff used to bring homicidal Nox and happy Nix to life. But they were poseable figures who at least had faces and mouths… Porcelain faces, painted-on mouths. Raising the sword to look closer, I spotted the acid etched figure on the blade.
