action-adventureapoclapyseartifical-intelligencenear-futurerobots
An odd-ball team of scientists from a think tank secretly discuss alarming events which seem disconnected at first, but come rapidly into focus as the Singularity.  the moment that artificial intelligence steps past human IQ presents a threat to the world they feel called on to respond.
meeting outside work at a local cantina, they form an alliance that shuns the military, big energy and even their own institute.  Soon they forced to ally with the military that pursues them in order to stem the tie of collapsing systems and a rising army of robots.  It may come down to eradication of the race, or some miracle against a superior new life form.  As the world falls apart,  the tight knit group pushes beyond the bounds of anything they have ever done, as it may be the last chance to do anything.

Venice Underworld by EnigmaExplorers
13 parts Complete
In the shadowy canals of Venice, a new drug is turning people into puppets. Interpol agent Alessandra Russo arrives seeking justice for her brother, but stumbles into a conspiracy that threatens the very fabric of reality. As the strings of control spread across Europe, Alessandra and her unlikely allies race against time to unravel the mystery. But with each revelation, the line between human and machine blurs, and the boundaries of reality itself begin to crumble. From the glittering masquerade balls of Venice to the neon-lit streets of a transformed London, Alessandra must navigate a world where nothing is as it seems. Every ally could be an enemy, every truth a lie. At the heart of it all lies the Archive, born of humanity's darkest desires and highest aspirations. As the Convergence looms, promising a future of perfect unity or total extinction, Alessandra faces an impossible choice. In a game where the stakes are the future of humanity, who can you trust when your own mind might be the enemy? Dive into "Venice Underworld," a mind-bending techno-thriller that questions the nature of consciousness, free will, and what it truly means to be human in an age of ever-advancing technology. The strings are waiting. Will you let them pull you in?
The Superspecies Two: A Haunting Sci-Fi Horror Mystery by GordonByron
2 parts Complete
A young girl is brutally abducted by a bloodthirsty grizzly, forcing a group of scientists to mop up a genetic engineering operation that is out of control, threatening any and all who enter the woods. One question remains: are the animals really dangerous for no reason at all or does their enhanced intelligence simply make them recognize something damning about human nature that needs to be understood before it's too late? Harmonious coexistence with an emerging highly-intelligent species competing for dominance over the earth or total destruction of humans and animals alike? Those are the two options now. Two groups of scientific researchers are sent to a forest where bear attacks are frequent in order to study what is happening only to find themselves attacked and outsmarted (in part) by the animals themselves. Two environmental action groups also find themselves at odds over the fate of the dangerously genetically-enhanced creatures. One group wants to see the beasts wiped out completely and the other wants to preserve them at all costs, even at the expense of human life. The two sides are locked in an impasse, unable to resolve their differences in an amiable way which leads to ever-increasing tension, animosity, kidnapping and murder. Entire forests are quarantined in an attempt to control and contain the beasts but soon holes are discovered in the operation as key players start disappearing in addition to animals eluding their hunters, fighting back and changing the field of battle to their own terms. Ambushing their pursuers on more than one occasion. As the "pro-beast" and "pro-human" sides chase to their own interests with the unfortunate bears caught in the middle (struggling to establish themselves in a human dominated world), the animals learn more and more to rely on their expanding awareness to survive and thrive in an entirely new world...to evolution shattering effect!
Artificial(ish) Intelligence by bensafta
146 parts Complete
It's the near future and Will, supported purely by the Universal Basic Income, spends his days playing video games while devouring piping hot noodles, delivered straight to his room by roaming DeliveryBots. Gamers are starving to death, but Will's more focussed on showing he's the best strategist in the world, and to do that he needs the help of his new autonomous flying selfie camera. One problem: the SelfieBot insists it's not a robot at all, but a human consciousness trapped inside a machine. To uncover the truth, he must sneak past automated robot guards with bad cockney accents, avoid lasers from swooping DefenceBots, escape explosions from anti-automation activists, outwit two murderous brothers, and flee from a human resources director hell-bent on exacting revenge on her cheating boss. He might even get to eat those piping hot noodles.

To Be Human by Grey_The_Great

In a distant future where humans no longer roam the Earth and the sentient robots they left behind are left with little to no clues as to the lost history of their inherited world, Sun and Moon take up the title of scientists and endeavor to create their own human in their lab (that's where you come in!) in order to shed light on the mystery that is the lost history of the human race. Shenanigans and existential dread ensue as you, a funky little lab creature given sentience, attempt to puzzle out what it really means to be human.
Run: An Introduction to Artificial Intelligence by ecalman

Utopia War by CharlesSmith9
53 parts Complete
Humanity emerges from the aftermath of the technological singularity having conquered scarcity, disease, poverty, aging, death, and, or so they thought, even war. With the aid of artificial intelligence and uplifted animals they have founded a virtual Utopia among the stars where people work only for personal development, satisfaction, or selflessly for the benefit of others. An attempt to help another space-faring species has unexpected consequences that threatens to engulf a whole region of space, and the Human Consensus is forced to intervene. When the small conflict grows into an existential threat to their entire civilization, humanity is forced for the first time to ask the question: can Utopia survive total war? I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com and this is one of many ridiculous hoops they want me to jump through.
The Hawaiian Special Forces by WingedPanther73
69 parts Complete Mature
This is the story I'm writing for NaNoWriMo 2015. The goal: 50,000 word RAW draft written entirely in the month of November. Unlike most of my stories, which I prefer to edit before posting, I'm actually going to post updates to this at the end of each day in chapter-sized chunks. The idea behind this story is that a terrorist attack in the near future causes the US to go hyper-isolationist, to the point that it abandons Hawaii and Alaska to fend for themselves. They do, forming the United Pacific States (maybe with a few other island countries). Hawaii then goes on to turn itself into the new world police with stealthy, genetically modified cyber-soldiers. I'm marking this story as mature because there will be action scenes, and probably some interesting perspectives on nudity and relationships. I'm not planning on anything explicit, but this won't be a kids book. Validated winner at 50,040 words!
