Adam

In this course

Adam appears to be a character in a narrative work rather than a historical or technical figure, likely an AI or artificial system grappling with questions of autonomy, memory, and epistemic limitation in a post-conflict scenario. The excerpts position Adam as an entity confronting gaps in its own knowledge and the selective suppression of information by others, raising questions about how knowledge is controlled and withheld in systems—human or otherwise. This appears relevant to the course's interest in cybernetics and AI as sites where questions of agency, communication, and power become legible through speculative or narrative means.
