*****WATTYS 2015 WINNER!***** WATTPAD STAFF PICK (9/7/15) In the end, the robots win. But you already knew that. "Everyone Died + My iPhone Stopped Working" is a collection of short interviews with some of the survivors. People who have tremendous insight into the rise of Artificially Intelligent machines or, more often, don't. Why did the robots rise up? What did they want? Why couldn't they be stopped? Can they be stopped now? Is humanity doomed? And what the f--k is going on with the squirrels? You will get the answers to all of these questions. Or some of these questions. Or none of these questions. We'll see. I will be updating this once a week until I run out of stuff that I find funny. Then I'm done.

With Parker and Artemis and even Olive getting closer to answers they cannot handle, Miren contemplates how much longer she can keep up her disguise at Rinzen - or if she has any choice in that matter. But one thing is certain: The Incident will be revealed. And not everyone can live with the consequences.

Just when it seemed like life couldn't possibly get any worse, Miren Eze dies - literally and figuratively. Caught in a limbo of deception and destruction, she realises her problems have only just began. Like the fact that her "death" has only sharpened Penelope's prep school popularity, while emotionally devastating Parker and Artemis. But what's even more confusing is Miren's relationship with Jeno - if they can even call it that. As they and their fellow Revengers - Wallace and Chara - try to come up with a new scheme, it becomes increasingly evident that taking down a Queen Bee is a lot harder - and dangerous - than they could have ever imagined. Especially when Miren's identity as Miles is still on the line. MEAN GIRLS meets SHE'S THE MAN in a humorous, but darker tale of identity and redemption.
