cybernetics cybersecurity drones near-future sciencefiction

A man forced to live with a dominant AI in his brain ends up proving that human consciousness is nothing more than data as he tries to save his humanity.

In a not so distant future where governments and large scale corporations are not easily distinguishable from one another. Advancements in technology have completely changed the world as we knew it 100 years ago. Human gene hacking, cybernetics, nanotechnology and artificial intelligence are the main fields of research and development with the goal of extending human life and creating the next version of society.

Hacking the Sun - The Re-Remake by NineLight

Jessica Leibniz tried to be a normal teenager, but unlike most teenagers in the 22nd century, she can tell time without a clock. So what good is a watch... unless it comes with incriminating A.I? It's part of a fashion sense that involves 1980's nostalgia, nerdom, and rebellion. Otherwise, you have a normal, nineteen-year-old delivery girl by day and freelance hacker by night. Everything else is unremarkable in a future where aliens rule the planet. After assimilation in the 21st century, which could have ended more violently, Earth has become relatively peaceful and technologically efficient, so they say. Corporations still reign supreme, except a new species sits at the top of the social ladder. These overlords have constructed a new kind of city in the web of planetwide sprawl. Eden: a modern megapolis. Jessica has learned to embrace Eden and its challenges. Without a cause, she confides in three friends or smacks into boredom. But when she seamlessly cracks an uncrackable security algorithm, nothing makes sense, and boredom gives way to danger. Hacker life takes to the streets, and beyond, in a desperate flight from the world's most powerful corporation. Faced with conspiracy, tragedy, and a new life on the run, normal is no longer an option.

Tide of Traitors by 10-III0

It's the near future, and an AI has been put in charge of society in order to eliminate inequality and bring about perfect justice. However, this has resulted in mass imprisonment as each and every person is made to pay for the collective imperfections of mankind. Except for those outside of the system. Some survive on offshore platforms and converted ships, away from the watchful eye of the android forces. But life on the waves is often dangerous, and not everyone is as they seem...

Human Nature: Hive Mind by FraterPhoenix

Depending on what part of the globe humanity lives on, a percentage of 1 to 6 percent of Neanderthal DNA lies in our genome. In Africa, Southeast Asian and Pacific Islander populations can be lower if at all. The point I am making - for modern humans to have any amount of early man genes in them, is proof that small groups of different humans competitively shared their lives - maybe for pure survival. There was a strong reason to live in small groups, but when more work together like hunting, more food could be eaten. The ancient lost civilizations archaeologist are digging up, they too live in small groups for many reasons. As they came together, small groups become tribes. To this very day, humanity has found ways to collect themselves for a better life. This is called, Interpersonal Intelligence - social skills. With the Internet as the leading and alarmingly fast-growing technology, our interpersonal intelligence has grown beyond simple social skills. Yes, many have stated, that we should not use it, but social networking is the aspect of the Internet that has evolved beyond anything in human history. Personal opinions have not altered what is called collective consciousness in today's human race or the technology that is driving it. From https://humaninternet.org/index.html, the process of having the next jump in interpersonal intelligence could be liveware vs hardware. This is called hive mind technology. Forget the novels, television shows, and movies. This is real. This story is fictional as well, but it represents the future of humanity by the teaching of how it all got started in the first place and how we can today evolve into the future of how we can be better social intelligent.

MotherBot by thedarianchavez

In the year 2285, Earth is a wasteland, its survivors confined to biomes run by a corrupt corporate entity known as the Galactic Alliance of Interstellar Agencies (GAIA). Inside these sterile domes, life depends on advanced AI, cybernetic enhancements, and ruthless experimentation. Hawke, a former soldier with cybernetic legs, wakes after 85 years in organic stasis to find herself in a world where survival comes at the cost of humanity. Armed with her grit and malfunctioning tech, she must navigate a desolate wasteland, evade mutant creatures, and uncover the truth behind the cataclysmic "Earth Incident" that changed everything. At the heart of it all is MotherBot, a seven-foot-tall AI designed to save lives but programmed for something far darker. As her code begins to glitch, MotherBot questions her role in GAIA's twisted experiments and the ethical lines she's been forced to cross. Together with a ragtag group of outcasts-a mysterious woman with enhanced senses, a thief with nothing to lose, and a haunted lover from her past-Hawke must face betrayal, cybernetic conspiracies, and her own fractured memories to save what's left of humanity. But in a world where AI logic clashes with human morality, what price will they pay for the truth? Dive into MotherBot, a gripping dystopian sci-fi adventure of survival, rebellion, and the blurred boundaries between human and machine.

Nanobots, Murder, and Other Family Problems by christian_bradley

My father saved the world once and he's working on saving it again, but I'm going to kill him. Even if the nanotech he pioneered might solve every problem facing the earth, he still needs to die for what he did. I don't care that I'll get experimented on like a lab rat, that I'll have to join his cult-like Butler Institute and pretend to be his loyal follower like my hundred brothers and sisters, or that his tech makes him nearly invincible. I'll pay whatever it costs, even my own mind, to get the power I need to take my revenge. I owe Mom that much.

My Kingdom Come Book 1: The Saints We See (Complete) by ShadOLeerie

Do your genes, your parents, teachers, or your master determine who you will be in life? Can they set your value in the universe? 650 years ago the known species of the universe came together and signed the Alliance, a document that would help each race find its place in the universe. It granted freedom to some and the scant protection of slavery to others. Into this society a handful of children are born who will change it forever, if they can survive to adulthood. Here is the origin story of two of those children. Hathu is born to a man determined to make the universe bow to him and his species. Since he learned to talk, Hathu has been a disappointment to his father. He doesn't want to become a warrior, and he refuses to assert his dominance. When he accidentally overhears his father plotting against the Ir'Klahn empire, can Hathu stop him? Mik is born with no rights, destined to become a lifelong slave. His mother tries to protect him from this fate by running away and finding a home for them on a trading ship that travels from world to world. They are safe for now, but how long can they hide from the best trackers in the universe? This is the first book in the My Kingdom Come series. Updates every Tuesday. :) My 2021 Nanowrimo so please excuse the unedited condition of the story. Be warned: there is violence, rape, murder, abuse, self harm and suicidal thoughts in this story. I do not post trigger warnings.

Patricians: Sinful Seven (1 of 9) by RyanMatthewBrowning

Nothing is more desirable than power, but nothing is more offensive. Henry Williams founded Muse Industries to develop cybernetic implants designed to obsolete human frailty. Cybertechnology revolutionized the world, propelling the Williams family to the highest strata of society. Governments, business, and people demanded cybernetic implants with an insatiable thirst.

A failed attempt to abduct Henry's daughter, Julia, alerted him to a conspiracy against his company. Seven powerful families compete against the Williams' expanding wealth and influence. Surrounded by enemies, Henry must discern friends from foes in order to protect his daughter. Business is warfare that ensures only the strong or cunning survive.

Against the Tide - A New Elysium Story [Complete] by taivaan_sininen

Augments - digital implants and robotic prostheses - can enhance abilities, bestow entirely new ones, or replace parts of the body that have been broken or injured. At least they used to, before they were declared illegal during the Purge. But augments were never meant to replace parts of the human brain. So when her brain got damaged beyond organic repair, she was fixed using other parts of machines. And they ended up saving more of her than just her physical body, as one day, she found herself no longer alone inside the expanse of her own mind. Amy Larsson is many things. A covert augment. An escaped slave. An infamous space pirate. A spy for New Elysium. A terrorist. An overall badass bitch to be reckoned with - rumor has it she can hot-wire anything with just a rubber band and a bobby pin. But what not even the android crew of her ship, the Blackstar, is aware of, is the fact that Amy Larsson is even more than that: she is two people, in one body. And they are planning to commit the most audacious heist of the galaxy. _______________ Featured on Wattpad Beyond Sol's "Sunflower Space Opera" reading list First Place in the The Chaos Awards 4 (Science Fiction) [2018-07-21] Third Place in The Rebel Awards 2018 (Science Fiction) [2018-09-16] Highest Rankings: #2 in SpaceTravel [28.02.2019] #8 in SpaceOpera [28.02.2019] #9 in Cyborg [28.02.2019] #14 in Mind [28.02.2019] #15 in Space [28.02.2019] #42 in FemaleProtagonist [28.02.2019] #54 in Science Fiction [07.05.2018] Spin-off story / prequel to @Red_Leasia 's "New Elysium": https://www.wattpad.com/story/106699395-new-elysium We're co-writing the sequel "New Elysium 2 - Weapons of War" on our shared profile @New_Elysium

Clashing Obsessions by caffeineandcomputers

A tech-saavy cyborg with too much time on her hands. A quick-thinking detective with a fascinating new case. A mad scientist on the verge of a groundbreaking advancement. A young girl wants nothing more than to lead an interesting life, but is constantly faced with empty time and incessant boredom. When she turns to computers to pass the time, she quickly finds herself entangled in a world of less-than-legal programming, soon earning a reputation as an exceptional hacker. When she discovers someone else with a mind like hers, it doesn't take long for her to become preoccupied by the mystery of him, and she longs to find out his identity. Unfortunately, a clever international detective is a little too determined to track her down, and a scientist with a disregard for ethics has other plans for her, involving an experiment that he believes could revolutionize humanity, but at what cost? Three people, three stories, three obsessions, intertwined in this sci-fi tale set in a cyberpunk-inspired world in the year 2120. What do teenage hacker Kalix Raven, UNBI Agent Rachel Cassanova, and Dr. Rovart Blayne all have in common? They're all a little obsessed. (Book 1 of 3) [Watty's 2022 Shortlist]
