12 Hours by byamyaolivia

We had a choice and took the money. We are two teenagers who are strangers to each other. Now everything is depending on us. We are being sent eight years into the future because World War III must be STOPPED. There's just one problem. These robots are like nothing we have ever seen before. Beyond what we consider artificial intelligence. Did they exterminate the humans?

Alive by Clarajeanmartin

The future is far beyond us. It does not exist. When an oblivious idiot takes credit for the invention of the third (and best functioning) model of the RCA, no one even so much as bats an eye, distraction. These models are the best of the best, at everything. Their muscle flexibility is 93% of ours, effectively eliminating non-realistic movement. They have software controlling their vocal output so that what they say always makes perfect sense, even in pronunciation. Everyone agrees on one thing: If they had a heart, they'd be just about human. And that's just it. Somewhere out there, the original prototype is running about, disguising himself as a normal gen3 RCA, when in reality, he's the only non-organic thing on earth to have emotion, and thought. The other RCAS are programmed to identify him as an immediate danger to the public. So he's always moving around. Looking for the finish to his one computer-made script, aptly called 'fate'. He will find it, and it must be complete.

Reboot by MarCafeWrites

"The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race. It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete, and would be superseded." -- Stephen Hawking * * * A collection of short stories and one-shots: some old, some new, and all (in one respect or another) science fiction. From reimagined fanfiction, to homage paid to greats like Philip K Dick, these are some pieces centering around the rise of technology, the decline of humanity, androids, A.I., and dystopian futures.

THE ETERNAL CODE by charley149

The discovery and initial implications of synthetic life and immortality

A Story By Chance by Nerak-Xeray

This is a collection of short stories based in a futuristic world, as I wanted to try out something new. It's a mix of fantasy and sci-fi and I have no clue where this is going, for I am just improvising along the way depending on the images I get.

Reality Check (G/t) by ResplendentxReign

(From 2014) There's a little bit of life in everything. We put our lives in everything, especially online. What if it was just as alive as we are? What if it lashed back at you?

The Wired Man by david_adam_suski

-- Previously published in 2013 by KHP books -- Imagine a world where social media is your identity. Every tweet logged, every "like" tracked, and every interaction analyzed and distilled into a singular representation of existence: your social score. Software engineer Aaron Stills understands this system better than most. With his choice of friends, an amazing girlfriend, and a blossoming career, he is on top of the world. All that changes when his brother is charged with murder. His social score ruined, Aaron becomes a second-class citizen. What he doesn't know is that this is all part of a plan that will lead him to the very heart of the system and what it means to be human. It will lead him to a choice. What is more important? Freedom or Safety? Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016IPI4LW Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22009197-the-wired-man
