Living with the Machine

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, allegory 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?
