Good for the mice, although from my experiences with both mice and rats, I could much more easily believe in rats adopting computers.
As far as I know, up to now all of the animals-using-computers fantasies have been about cats: Beth Hiltgartner’s two adult novels, “Cats in Cyberspace” (Meisha Merlin Publishing, September 2001) and its sequel, “PKP for President” (Brigantine Media/Voyager, December 2011); and Lincoln & Lee Taiz’s all-ages “Libra, the Cat Who Saved Silicon Valley” (AmSea Group Publishing, December 2002). I do not know about any others about animals using computers, although the overly-cute and cat-friendly “Libra, the Cat Who Saved Silicon Valley” has as its villains the Dogma Computer Company.
Does anyone know of any other animal-computer s-f or fantasy novels? I suppose that the uplifted animals of David Brin’s s-f novels can be assumed to be computer-users.
