In the grad student lounge this afternoon, a fellow first-year comes up to me: "You're Abigail, right? At lunch today, we were talking about robots. I heard that you're a real expert on robots."
Could this, perhaps, be the most untrue thing that has ever been said about me?
In some strange academia version of telephone, it seems, a vague comment I made about being interested in "monsters" and another about being interested in "the Internet" have been conflated and exaggerated and I have emerged as the Columbia English department's resident robot expert.
