A Young Lady’s Illustrated Primer.
- danielodievich 4y agoThe Primer is a cool computer full of rod logic but note that Nell's tutor is Miranda, a human.
- lowbloodsugar 4y agoOne of the plot-lines is getting the Primer mass produced for the seven float orphanages. The Primer is designed to react to its owner's environment and teach them what they need to know to survive and develop. It can do so by using human actors (in the theatrical sense), but it is not the case that a human is the tutor using the Primer like an encyclopedia, as your post seems to suggest.
