Orson Scott Card wrote a trilogy series that had a similar concept back in the 80s and 90s. Its the trilogy that immediately follows after Ender's Game.

  • Speaker For the Dead
  • Xenocide
  • Children of the Mind

I know Orson Scott Card is a bigot, so please don't give him anymore money, but I always think of this series when it comes to personalized AI in earings.
