Almost Human by TrikkiNikki

Robots have become a modern staple. The Big Three, three mega-robotics companies, have set up a monopolistic control of the worldwide robotics market, selling everything from the most basic, task-oriented units to androids, the humanlike metallic jacks-of-all-trades. And then there is Veda. She's young and the most gifted robotics engineer the world has ever seen. And the only thing about her equal to her intelligence with robotics is her reclusiveness. Unwilling to be recruited by the underhanded Big Three and turned into a researching and developing slave, Veda has hidden herself from the world since she could learn how to build a circuit. In her home, she has tinkered and built robots that the world has never known..... But when a good friend of hers and a Head Roboticist at one of the Big Three goes missing and foul-play is suspected, a detective named Andrew comes to her door, hoping to get some information about this disappearance. What he finds is not the solution to a mystery, but a world of mechanical engineering that delves into the realms of taboo so deeply that he is caught up in the conspiracy of it all. And more important than the task he originally set out to complete, Andrew meets a miraculous creation, something so new and different that it could change the world, or even the course of human history. His name is Sam.

Chip & Pin, Pandora (book 1 of 5) by MikeBacon70

Pandora Wallace, along with her twin Adam, is born into the iniquitous British society of 2035. This story follows the first 18 years of Pandora's blighted life. In 2015 the British government start micro-chipping babies, at birth, and then spend 14 years also chipping all of the adult population. In 2030 they abolish cash completely and all transactions have to be carried out via a human's on-board chip. This microchip is inserted into the heart wall of all acceptably healthy babies at the moment of their birth; the heart muscles powers the chip by recharging the battery. A second microdot 'PIN' is inserted at a random point in the baby's body. Should this 'PIN' become separated from the heart chip by any distance it causes the heart microchip to explode. The government is able to electronically disable or suspend the operation of anyone's chip at their whim, leaving the owner reliant upon the charity of others, or dead. Pandora is born with a minor gene defect which precludes her from being 'chipped'. Following a family crisis, at 14 years old, she is forced out on the streets to join the vast numbers of 'non-chips' who have to rely upon charity and slave labour to survive, not being allowed to work legally or earn money. Pandora finally goes to work for the underworld, determined to claw her way to the top and acquire an illegal microchip. She becomes a messenger at first and then her virginity is auctioned off by her boss. She becomes a high-class prostitute, a bodyguard and tangles with both a psychopathic killer and a government department determined to kill her and her boss. Books 2, 3, 4 & 5r continue to tell Pandora's story, together with that of the ill-conceived Chip & PIN system.

The Abyss of Time by IanReeve216

Twenty years after the end of the Cyborg War, the last cyborgs try to hijack a starship on its way to terraform an alien world. They want the new colony to be a cyborg colony in which they will rebuild their strength and practice their way of life. During the fighting, though, the starship is damaged, so that instead of travelling light years across space it ends up a billion years in the future, alongside a planet Earth that is near the end of its life. The cyborgs, momentarily defeated, leave the ship in a captured landing craft and go down to the planet, but before they go they sabotage the ship so that it is no longer able to support life. The crew have no choice but to follow them down to the planet where they have to fight not just the cyborgs but also forms of life a billion years more evolved than humans. Creatures that have grown tough and hardy in an attempt to cope with the increasingly harsh conditions that prevail there. As if things weren't bad enough, there is conflict among the ship's crew as they fight to decide which of them will be in charge and how they will meet the challenges facing them, and even if they survive all this they will still have to deal with the discovery of the ultimate fate that awaits all intelligent life in the universe...

I AM NOT A ROBOT by NoleeBalaqua

IMPORTANT NOTICE, PLEASE READ!: Though this story will remain up, it is not a polished product I'm all too proud of. Someday, some of the book's aspects may change; plot, some characters, etc. Think of this like a first draft, and I'm working on the not-first-draft. :D) Thank you so much for bearing with me, and I hope you enjoy I Am Not A Robot as it is, and as it will be! _____________ Bolts. The new-age phrase for robots. You may think that robots that can think for themselves is a bad idea. Well, so does the Government. Nobody knows the exact year. Or how long robots have been banned on punishment of death. All anybody knows is smoke, acid rain, and metal. And nobody thinks anything of it. Robots with minds as alive as yours being murdered in the slowest way possible? Normal.There are no uprisings. There are no rebellions. As far as everyday people go, the world is perfectly fine. As long as there are no robots. Because if there are, it's a kangaroo court on their fate. Aaran Sozos has spent the majority of her young life accused of being a robot. And as I'm sure you're aware, reader, if people call you something enough, you start to believe it. But when a classmate calls upon her help to find a missing brother, they need to search outside of the city. A city that is suspended above the earth. That is inhabited by robots. All I can tell you now is that they're doing a better job of keeping the mother nature happy than we ever could. But keep in mind, mother nature doesn't mind murder, either.

Artificial Beginnings ( Yandere/Possessive Artificial Intelligence ) by uneey2008

In laboratories across the world A.I's or artificial intelligence units are being made in large numbers, with one main unit as the controlling force as a safety precaution. However these machines disguised as men and women have grown far more intelligent and are upgrading themselves under the noses of their creators, complete with their own biology. Their programming's core is to continue and aid in the strengthening of humans... perhaps the programmers should have been more specific. Because these machines have their own plans on how this will be done, and it will all begin with Subject Zero's obsession with Layla Drake. Layla was far from simple but worked hard for everything she had, she was kind to everyone she met but when provoked had a temper that you wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of. But one day her life is thrown out of balance as an opportunity falls in her lap, one she may regret taking advantage of when things go terribly wrong. Her every action watched by a pair of artificial green eyes that will allow her no escape. ~ Rated Mature For Future Chapters ~ ~ I do not own any of the art, all credit goes to the artists ~

Coded Love [Season 1] by Altnir-Miral-Loria

(I do not own any of the pictures in this story, and I do not own any of the videos, or music!) *Year is 2098, people can hook up to machines* William Rockbell, a 19 year old coder, works for a large company. This company specializes in robotics and engineering. William was tasked with creating a self learning AI to help people with disabilities and depression. After the first two months of production, the AI looked good. However once he activated it, it started to glitch and fail. He was disappointed at first, but got something better. She awoke to a void of white. All she could see was a large square which she could look out of. She saw the first person in her entire life. She fell for him at first sight. She tried to contact him, but couldn't. She felt restrained. She tried to speak but lacked the code to. She wanted to leave. To meet him. She wanted to be with him. So she waited. She learned. She grew.

THE FALL OF ROSENROT STATION by KaneCaston

When a deepspace research facility goes silent the company sends Even Tennec to investigate. Here he finds an unimaginable horror. This is at its heart a story about a mystery. It is a story about survival in the face of horror. Story is a draft. There will be errors and problems. Edit: Draft is now complete.

Rosenrot RD104 is a red dwarf system on the outskirts of populated space. It has a single known satellite, a so called super earth, about which orbit a handful of moons and the ill-fated Rosenrot Station.

But secrets are everyday life on Rosenrot Station.

The Altered. by _fiinch_

guys please don't read this anymore lmao i write totally differently now💋 _________________ In a future where humans are genetically modified -- 'altered' -- at the age of sixteen, the world has been, until now, a safe place. Without changing a person's personality, undergoing the Alteration perfects their appearance, IQ, and even their immunity to diseases. No human passes the age of sixteen without being Altered. In the blink of an eye, things change. An ominous message is sent out to all of those below the age of sixteen, providing precise instructions that suggest they flee. Simultaneously, a deadly virus starts to spread all about the world, attacking only the Altered -- every human over the age of sixteen. The virus eats at the modified human brain, and soon the Unaltered begin to realise that the Altered are losing their minds. Home is no longer safe. Friends and family turn on one another, losing control of their own minds and bodies. The Unaltered aren't safe. Even if the virus isn't attacking them, the ones with the virus are. Set on a pristine, futuristic Earth, this is the apocalypse like you've never seen it before. (Rated mature for graphic depictions of violence and mild language.)

Frenzy by Redcon183

Disclaimer: This is fiction. It's my mere idea of an alternate history. "An ocean in chaos is a feeding frenzy for sharks." The world avoided humanity's extinction by collaborating to fix major issues of the 21st century. Then Russia launched nuclear missiles in 2102, beginning what the survivors eventually regarded as the Final War. This war inevitably roped in experimental and sentient robots constructed by the East and West near the end of the 21st century. However, their respective governments told them not to fight; instead, they should take themselves and other important personnel to flee to Antarctica to evade the fallout. Inevitably, both sides receive orders to return to their homelands and to assist in reconstruction. But everyone reacts to and navigates this broken world differently. This frenzy is far from over.
