Birds can fly, unless they are
penguins and ostriches, or if they happen
to be dead, or have broken wings, or are confined to cages, or have
their
feet stuck in cement, or have undergone experiences so dreadful as to
render
them psychologically incapable of flight

Suggested book:
Space Odyssey 2001 - Arthur Clarke
The book that the famous movie is based on.
HAL is the star of the book.
AI movie:
Robocop

and "real" AI robots.
