Pohl, Frederik. "A Day in the Life of Able Charlie." 1976. Pohlstars.

Story "explores the several minutes when an AC-770 computer completes its analysis of a typical, married American man, makes its report, and begins 'its new life' (Po 188) as another program—that of a teenage girl." Originally written, FP asserts, for an advertising campaign (Thomas Clareson, Frederik Pohl [Mercer Island, Washington: Starmont, 1987]: 124). (RDE, 30/07/95)
