"If we were so riveted in the spectrum of nature, why did we stand, petrified, as we became corrupted by idle technology, stupefied by glowing screens, stolen from life as we know it from enemies right under our noses?

It was the consequence of this stupidity that condemned us all to slaves, servants of a towering race of robots and data." The year 2096. Robots rule the world.

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 ~

System Failure (An Adesa Fanfic) [Originally by Littlewolf65] by stormcause

*Original book, description and plans by Littlewolf65* The year is 3021. And the world has become a technological utopia. Technology has advanced far beyond we had ever thought. Virtually anything is possible now, for magic and science have become one. Wars rarely occur anymore and are quickly resolved. Poverty and crime is at an all time low and peace reins supreme. If it weren't for one small problem... Viruses. Codes, no... Monsters living inside our systems that can resume a human form, but lack compassion, remorse and strive to perform one goal. Cause Chaos. They feed off our codings, our files, our life and seek to destroy all we have worked to achieve. To combat these viruses, a new system was born. A group of people that are the perfect merge between human and coding. They are called Glitches. Their main goal? Wipe out all viruses. So what happens when Adam Dalberg, the most skilled glitch of all meets Alesa? A virus unlike all others... A virus that actually has compassion? That can love? Will this romance turn out all right in the end? Or will it just be a system failure?

Porcelyn Cracked- rough 1st edit by Grindkitten

In the future, science has found a way to re-animate the dead and make them pliant servants for the wealthy. They buy the units for 10,000 for a base model. More attractive units sell higher as well as the more physically fit the model is the higher the price. The units are used for anything and everything their owner wants, from household work to administrative duties, to even being sexual companions. They are each programmed with a hard drive in their brain that works like a computer and allows them to have a quick mind and agility, as well as nano machines in their body to repair any damage that can occur with normal usage. There are some people who still view the units as a dead body and have trouble interacting with them in their daily life. But most of the population is too poor to even afford one so this problem is left to the upper classes that can buy the units. For some, poverty is worse than death. For one Porcelyn, death is just the start.

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.

Deep Black Road: The Head of the Snake by Arther2002

It all started in 2079 with the three of them. First there was the boy, who loved robotics and chess, but was crushed by a robot run amok. Then there was the general, who wasn't about to let something as trivial as a fatal illness interfere with his plan to take over the Federation of North America. And finally, the girl: being groomed by her wealthy and influential father for business success and political power, she was cut down in a freak car accident. The general got his wish to be made robotic, and proceeded to topple the provincial government of Foredan on his way to taking on the rest of the Federation. The boy's father, clinging to his last emotional connection with his late wife, put his son's soul into a memorial robot; but the robot boy got tangled up in the general's machinations, and fell into the hands of the renegade Followers of the Anointed One. The girl, having being roboticized at her father's expense, threw her lot in with the general's scheme, intending to ride his coattails to the power she sought. None of them counted on the Prophet. Would the boy, having been granted a 'great and terrible' destiny when he hung between death and life, be able to find his way to it ... on the Deep Black Road?

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.
