This is the prologue and chapter 1 of my novel A.I. The dashes represent the break between the prologue and chapter 1 except for the first set of dashes. Another thing is that at the top of each new break is the person's perspective so in this one it shifts from third-person to David's POV.
Need suggestions for a better title. Please point out any spelling/grammar you noticed that I might miss so I can fix it. Suggestions on how to make the beginning a lot more captivating. Please give insight on what you liked and didn't like.

An interesting start to a story. I honestly didn't mind going from the third person view into first person. They're clearly sectioned off so there was no problem adjusting to it.
The only slightly difficult bit was the chat part. When you have three different types of text mixed in, each representing a different thing, it gets a bit cumbersome. Maybe it would be easier to read if you represented it like a real chat would? So you'd have:
Nickname: Who are you? DifferentNickname: What? etc.
However, lagre paragraph in the beginning could be devided into few smaller ones, as spaces make it easier and more transparent to read.

But a good start none the less
