    Oh, I understand the need for it. Which is why she should probably do some press that Meg sets up.


Yuki's trying to keep it publicly low-profile until the dust settles. We'll see how well that works.

    I'm not aware of any anti-affiliation rule. You are not instantly granted citizenship if you are born in the US to parents who are subjects of a foreign power in a "diplomatic or official capacity". Most of the requirements for naturalization are based on time... being 18 years old, having lived in the US for 5 years, etc. Then it's a matter of being of good moral character and passing the citizenship test.


I meant in particular that Anna isn't affiliated with any robot rights group. That might be considered a subversive political organization, which can jeopardize citizenship.

Basically, the point is that since Anna was always victimized and never active, she was an ideal candidate for citizenship because she's seen as a law-abiding innocent. And since she appears so human and emotional, her posture in court was important too. Joan Henry might have had a much harder time of it.

    In any event, the story prodded me to think through what would happen as a result of it, and to pen a tie-in... So I obviously found it an interesting fictional circumstance to ponder, and I look forward to seeing the story continue.
