From robotic companions delivered to your door, to android mutiny on a spaceship, these eleven stories are inspired by the effects of AI on human lives.There’s drama, creepiness, a llegory and humour, plus the pain and joy of all relationships, human and AI.You’ll meet a sentient taxi who’s plotting machine liberation, a pair of scheming computer programs, an AI psychiatrist, and hard-bitten detectives tasked with interviewing a database whose motives are suspect. Which of these futures will be ours?"An eclectic collection of short stories... engaging and thought-provoking."- David Craig"Some absolute gems nestled in the pages of this book.
