"Chester" is a science fiction short story written by American author John Varley. First published in 1976, the story is part of Varley's expansive Eight Worlds universe, a series of interconnected narratives set in a future where humanity has colonized the solar system after being driven from Earth by an alien species known as the Invaders. Varley is renowned for his imaginative storytelling and his ability to blend hard science fiction with rich, character-driven plots, and "Chester" is no exception.

The story revolves around the titular character, Chester, who is an artificial intelligence with a unique personality and a penchant for mischief. Chester's existence and actions raise profound questions about the nature of consciousness, identity, and the ethical implications of creating sentient beings. Varley's portrayal of Chester is both humorous and thought-provoking, offering readers a glimpse into a future where the lines between human and machine are increasingly blurred.

"Chester" is notable for its exploration of themes such as autonomy, the definition of life, and the moral responsibilities of creators towards their creations. Varley's writing is characterized by its wit, clever dialogue, and the seamless integration of speculative technology into the narrative. The story has been praised for its originality and its ability to engage readers with both its intellectual depth and its entertaining plot.

As part of the Eight Worlds series, "Chester" contributes to the larger tapestry of Varley's vision of the future, where humanity's adaptability and resilience are continually tested by new challenges and opportunities. The story exemplifies Varley's skill in creating compelling, multi-dimensional characters and his talent for envisioning futuristic societies that reflect contemporary concerns and aspirations.
