I think Asimov's Robotic laws and their predecessors and subsequent revisions ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_laws_of_robotics ) show that it is a dream of human beings to build machines that _don't_ behave like human beings. Then again, there's the Berserker stories ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berserker_%28Saberhagen%29 ).

As far as LSD goes, I highly recommend
http://www.amazon.com/LSD-Problem-Child-Albert-Hofmann/dp/0966001982/sr=8-1/qid=1160089730/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-7723466-8269731?ie=UTF8&s=books
