      • 2000, Sheldon Pacotti (writer) & Warren Spector (director/producer), Deus Ex:

      • 2001 January 15, All Great Neptune's Ocean (Andromeda), season 1, episode 10:

      • 2009, Weisberg, Josh, “It Stands to Reason: Skynet and Self-preservation”, in Terminator and Philosophy: I'll Be Back, Therefore I Am, →ISBN:
