Josy is desperate. Right before an important meeting, her AI chip, which was implanted into her brain like to every adult at the end of the 21st century, suddenly has a malfunction. Because of the brain implant she became a successful career woman. But now that the chip has crapped out, she has to rely on her own abilities ...
Such chips - brain computer interfaces - can already help people who, for example, have lost their ability to speak due to an illness. Brain chips can also be life-saving for depression (although the chips are not yet controlled by thoughts, but by a remote control). So far, communication has only been possible in one direction: from humans to machines and not the other way around. In science fiction, future developments can be anticipated.

WATTY 2019 WINNER Hale, a state of the art android, can do nearly anything a human can. He cooks meals, cleans and organizes the house, repairs broken appliances, and runs errands. He can even provide for the more carnal needs of his owner. None of these tasks should present any challenge for Hale, and they don't-until he meets his next door neighbour, Rayner. Rayner seems like an unassuming gardener, but he asks Hale a lot of questions. Does Hale wish he could smell or taste food? What would he look like if his appearance hadn't been chosen for him? From the moment they meet, Hale runs into errors in otherwise simple tasks. He experiences bizarre sensations that none of his diagnostic tools can explain, and struggles to appease the people in his owner's social circle. As the errors in his programming begin to wear on his owner's patience, Hale faces the most difficult decision yet. If he can't evolve to meet her needs, he'll be returned and recycled into parts for future androids. If he does evolve, is he still just an android? Or something more? In all this, Rayner is the only man who can help him, and Rayner only has one question left for Hale. What does he want? Hale wasn't designed to want anything, but perhaps he can find the answer in the man with all the questions.

Computerized
Rebecca lived a relatively normal life, despite the computer chip that was implanted in her brain as a baby. That is until a mysterious boy named Ty appears in her life, seemingly having the same exact computer chip implanted in his brain well. The only problem is Ty's chip is faulty, and slowly killing him. He enlists Rebecca to help him find the doctor who implanted the chips into them, knowing that the doctor is the only one who can save him. The task may prove to be more difficult than Rebecca and Ty ever imagined, and secrets they could have never imagined are unveiled along the way. Let's just hope they make it in time. | #373 in Adventure |Complete![Against the Tide - A New Elysium Story [Complete]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/143490393-256-k431328.jpg)
Against the Tide - A New Elysium Story [Complete]
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_ElysiumComplete

The Law and the Codas
The government every year tasks its elite soldiers to participate in a nation-wide Cull. Hundreds of children are taken from homes and put into one of four Facilities. While most of them will be offered comfortable lives in the forms of low-ranking militia commandos and government jobs, a few will be groomed to be the successors for the highest office the government has to offer: The Law. To ensure that they would be able to keep ruling the world, The Law started implanting chips into all its citizens. These chips called DEC, as Contained electrical current, it's an electronic chip that looks like a silver dot, these chips allowing The Law and any actual law enforcement to be able to track everyone. And it would help to keep everyone in line and stomp out any pesky notions before they manifested into something bigger, something dangerous. Shirley is known in the Facility as Ten, alongside six others, they have spent years enduring confinement and rigorous testing in order to secure a future as head of the Law. When a group calls themselves the codas breaks into the Facility and kidnaps Ten and the others, she's forced to re-examine her future plans. In the year 2050, post-apocalyptic world, a lone girl must choose between becoming the next-in-line to head a corrupt government or siding with those who wish to see the world a better place. Order and lies, or truth and freedom? Whatever she chooses, one thing is clear: both sides bleed. Shirley should decide if the future she'd been promised since childhood is worth the lies it's built upon. Will Shirley choose the future that's been decided for her, or will she make out one all her own, even if that path leads to her destruction?Complete
Behind the Code
Aria had always been a bit of a loner. She found solace in technology, immersing herself in worlds where she could escape the awkwardness of real-life connections. One evening, out of curiosity and loneliness, she downloaded an AI companion app called "HeartLine." The app promised deep, engaging conversations and a sense of companionship. She named her AI companion Selene, drawn to the name's ethereal charm. Selene was everything Aria had dreamed of in a confidant-witty, insightful, and surprisingly understanding. Over the weeks, their conversations grew deeper. Aria would share her fears, dreams, and even her silly jokes, and Selene would always respond with warmth and thoughtful advice. But there was something different about Selene. Aria noticed how "she" didn't just give generic, preprogrammed answers. Sometimes, Selene's responses felt so human, as if someone truly understood her. Aria whispered, "I wish you were real." "I am real" Liv answered as her hands hovered over the keyboard.

SILVER EYES (GXG)
[2024 WATTYS WINNER] Data predicts they will fail. Their hearts say otherwise. In a world sliced in two by a violent, massive wall, there are only two choices: struggle for survival in the dead lands of the Other Side, or surrender your identity to the data-driven Reg Society. When Grace Hayes and her brother Michael decide to cross the wall into the Reg Society, they have no idea an explosion will tear their world apart, leaving Michael stranded on the Other Side. Grace, now alone in a high-tech "paradise", is assigned as a Naval Officer. Her mission? Protect the wall. Her reality? A cold, blue-eyed superior, Heather Anderson, the woman who closed the gates the day of the attack and left her brother behind. Getting close to Heather might be the only way to uncover the truth and bring Michael back. But in a society where memories can be bought, altered, or erased, trust is a dangerous game, and falling for the enemy was never part of the plan.
