Automatic: Anthology of Robots

by Ellen Campbell (Editor), Nick Cole (Foreword), A.K. Meek

Prepare for the Singularity A hardened detective is disturbed by the first android murder... A cyborg questions his own existence as he prepares for war on the moon... Two children realize nightmares aren't just for the night... Abigail wants to get surgery to look like her favorite robot rock star... Malfunctioning androids can become a nuisance for a city... A week old robot adjusts to her emotional nature... Androids are the social elite; they're the rock stars, the A-list actors, the CEOs. They're the modern day gods, and everyone wants to be like them. And with emotion chip upgrades, they're more like us than ever before. Eleven short stories tell of an uncertain future with robots living at our sides. It's Bicentennial Man and A.I. Artificial Intelligence uploaded into one mainframe.
