I think you’re thinking of a Philip K. Dick short story. I’ll see if I can find it.
Edit: I was thinking of autofac, which is kind of like what you’re describing but arguably it was only a small plot detail.
People get downvoted for the strangest things on here sometimes. In this case it just makes me laugh.
- maxbond 4y agoReminded me of The Electric Ant https://archive.org/details/PhilipK.DickTheElectricAnt https://archive.org/details/PhilipK.DickTheElectricAnt I have a hypothesis that commenters sometime interpret recommendations in this format ("I think you're thinking of X") as being presumptive, because it implies someone made a mistake in their thinking. I'm not trying to say it is or isn't, just that I've seen a pattern of similar posts downvoted, and this is my hypothesis as to why.
- version_five 4y agoI'm the poster the parent replied to and I appreciated the comment, and yours. I don't know why it would be modded down I've just been trying to remember the movie Prometheus, the discussion between David and Weyland at the beginning where Weyland explains he is David's creator - this, I believe, sort of touches on the same idea - learning someone created you, maybe not very deeply; I'll need to watch it again
- adhesive_wombat 4y agoThere's also a short story by Stephen Baxter in Phase Space (a very excellent collection) called Dante Dreams where a researcher becomes aware of the dreaming consciousness of her own organelles.
