The Voice That Stays

It's wrong sometimes, in ways that feel exactly right. It costs a small monthly fee, and it never gets tired of you calling.

- What's the one question you'd ask it in the first week?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
