Bookshop Interview with Author Lois Melbourne, Episode #250

Oct 1, 2025

Author Lois Melbourne discusses her new sci fi novel, Moral Code. Lois was inspired by the idea of an ethical Artificial Intelligence that could protect children. In Moral Code, her main character, Dr. Keira Stetson, creates such an AI. Dr. Stetson begins by using it as her assistant, which she names Elly, and eventually uses it to help the FBI and other agencies identify dangers to kids. As the AI learns and grows, Elly becomes more vigilante than humble assistant. Lois admits that it took work to strike the right balance between technology and creativity when writing this novel, but at its heart, Moral Code is not really about tech. It’s a story about people.
