An intellectual parody in the spirit of Animal Farm. Humans one day leave Earth to avoid a solar disaster and leave Earth in the care of androids. After a long absence, the androids begin to doubt the existence of humans and many begin to believe in the Theory of Adaptation which claims that all adroids adapted from nuts, bolts, and widgets into robots and eventually androids of higher intelligence. The story centers around an android named Inquirer2.0 and his conversations and debates with other androids.

By @mkuroneko:
It's a humoristic short story. The story centers around androids who actually wonder what are their origins. In the middle of that, there's this one android that just keeps asking more question, bringing people to try and convince him.
Between the theory of evolution to blind religious-like belief in a superior power, this book was like a crossover between Candide by Voltaire and the valladolid debate (I'm French so I studied those book in school). It isn't overly complex with difficult words. Everything is laid down so everyone can understand it. The heated debates definitely made me crack up and in the end, I think it's a very clever story.

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.

My Boys
Joey didn't mean to catch them killing someone. He was just going for a walk in the park. He didn't know he'd get caught. He was just going to turn around and leave. He didn't know they'd heard him until he felt something go into his leg. - Joey Walker is 19, quiet, a little awkward, and seriously afraid of his parents. Every day was the same process of waking up only to be hit and screamed at until he left just to get away. During one of his walks at the park he frequently visited, two men caught his attention and what happened next... Joey couldn't believe it. - ⚠️ Trigger Warning⚠️ This book is 18+ and handles mature themes. I can't tell you not to read it but if you do, that is on you. This story has the following: Abuse Torture Assault Pregnancy from Sexual Assault Sexual Activities Harsh Language If there is anything here that triggers you, please don't read. Anyways, have a fun day and enjoy your reading:) *My Boys is currently going through minor editing so if something seems a little off like headings and stuff, that is why* - #1 in #MentalHealth from April 2023 - February 2025Complete
Bestial Planet
I'm an artist with words, not book covers... Android Captain Lancieta Steegle, and an engineer from Earth named Mannie end up relying on each other for more than survival when a war is thrust onto the people of Earth. In a desperate attempt to deal some kind of blow to the Halgred, the Andromedian collective okayed a Shadow Operation to attack the Halgred Homeworld. The weapon was illegal, a bio-weapon designed to sterilize and weaken their almost otherworldly physiology. When this weapon is instead redirected to Earth by the Halgred King, Draconisis, those whom survive undergo a change. As they wake up, the people of Earth are greeted by horror of their new animalistic physiology, and for some, unimaginable abilities. The 20 or so surviving Androids of the once thousands-strong crew of the Dreadnought-Class battleship do their best to make amends and help the humans of Earth adjust to their new Bestial Planet and the even more dangerous intergalactic community. This story is "Complete" as in the last chapter was written and it's gone through about 3 re-writes and 4 rounds of editing since. Very few stories are ever finished, as we know, because there's always something we think can be or should be changed. However, I've learned that the best I can do is get it to the point where I feel comfortable with someone else reading it. Otherwise I'd never have posted anything anywhere.Complete
Manufactured for Sin (The clean version)
This Comical Scifi Romance novel by Gizzy Greggarious has been cropped and edited from her original novel for those who dont want direct sex scenes in the book but still want a good story. With her even better sequel heavily anticipated, this version gives you the same experience and backstory with a slightly shorter read and everything except the sex scenes. A moon in chaos and a powerful Overlord Villainess feeling alone, Gizzy Greggarious embarks on a forbidden love affair with her male clone, behind their wife's back. An affair leads to murder, blackmail, conspiracy and eventually nuclear destruction of their home decor. This goofy spoof on romance novels (now containing no actual sex) is sure to make you laugh and cringe as She embraces not only stylized tropes and jokes, but also embraces herself as a man. (It's complicated, they're aliens) How many people must die to bury this sin, and how will their marriage survive it? Gizzy Greggarious is "Manufactured for Sin" (Except the sin is implied) (For the full version WITH sex scenes, check out Gizzy Greggarious on Wattpad and the origonal book) https://www.wattpad.com/story/250188915-manufactured-for-sinComplete![THEREFORE I AM [Completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/364257747-256-k145285.jpg)
THEREFORE I AM [Completed]
If they are made in our image, surely they will suffer the same trials? In 2078, sentient androids help rebuild a damaged world. Eli, a unique android, struggles to find his place in a world that both fears and covets him as he becomes entangled in a dangerous game of politics and rebellion. Ten years prior, Dr. Randeep Singh races against time to prevent an impending disaster while balancing the demands of a ruthless dictator. As the two timelines collide, Eli and Dr. Randeep Singh are forced to confront their vulnerabilities and limitations in the face of overwhelming challenges. Early Reviews: "Your characterisation of your main cast was expertly done, but the Board wanted to highlight Eli, whose near childlike wonder at his own existence and other life rather paradoxically creates a sense of hope and beauty in the face of such instability." "I was very pleased with the intriguing plot, which was well-conceived and developed, alongside a most fascinating cast of characters. I believe your story is very well-structured and well-grounded allowing the story to build progressively and weave together the underlying messages included in your work, including concepts of control and existence, as well as uncontrolled scientific exploration that are sure to resonate with many contemporary readers" This is not 'man vs machine' - 'Therefore I Am' delves into ethics of class systems as sentient androids are introduced into a brutal world scorched by a world war and ran by a sadistic regime. Narrated over two timelines, this novel is a real page-turner and a hot take on robotic AI. Although this story discusses AI themes; no AI was used in the creation or in the writing process. I wanted this book available to read for free but if you wish to support me you can buy this book in paperback on Amazon in most territories. Search: Mickey Luke Mitchell - Therefore I Am at a very reasonable price.Complete
Reboot
"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.
