❝ We are the ones who dream in ones and zeros. Do you dare to dream with us? What will you see? Will you like what you see? Or will these dreams turn into nightmares? ❞
    
    A collection of short stories in the science-fiction genre, but with a twist.  
    
    If you're looking for sci-fi stories told from a different perspective and with a more personal, emotional, intimate touch, then this is the collection for you! 
    
    If you're also looking for specific themes or don't know where to start, then here is a short, (mostly) spoiler-free description of each short story in this collection: 
    
    • A NEW RAISON D'ÊTRE
    With no creator left to serve, an advanced automaton has to decide its future.
    
    • FATAL ERROR
    A robot has to pay the ultimate price for a crime it does not remember committing. 
    
    • THIS VOICE YOU GAVE TO ME
    A drunk confrontation with an unexpected A.I. might prove to be the single worst (or best) mistake of this singer's life.
    
    • YOUR BEST YOU
    A woman finds that she no longer has control over her virtual avatars.
    
    • THE MOON BIRD
    A formerly disgraced scientist is faced with the moral limits of scientific research. 
    Entry for May 2020: The Force challenge. Prompt: 500 words, sci-fi short with a clear fantasy element.
    
    • THE SECRET GARDEN
    A genetically engineered human feels trapped in a glass prison.
    
    • SYMBIOSIS
    A researcher and her alien colleague go on what was supposed to be a simple data collection mission. But things quickly take a turn for the weird.
    
    • UNTITLED_TRACK_10
    A young child is gifted a new piano instructor by her father. A new, shiny, robotic instructor. And she is not pleased.
    
    • THE POISON WE BREATHE
    As this poor dancer soon finds, the worst poison is the one you take yourself.All Rights Reserved
