The year is 2040 and Eric Roberts hates technology. In an era where automated systems and A.I. robots carry out most work obligations, these advancements have rendered scores of humans societally useless. Aimlessly wandering about, the displaced people struggle with their new reality-a hardship painfully familiar to Eric. 

Once a neuropsychologist, his professional livelihood unceremoniously ended when medical tech forced him into obsolescence. Now a community therapist, he spends his days working with the displaced, helping them craft meaning in a world that no longer needs them. Then Eric's world upends when Arvin-an A.I. robot-arrives at the counseling center for mental health services. 

Reluctantly, Eric has to work with the embodiment of his misery, and while doing so, unearths a damning secret. With his life at a low point, he figures there's no harm in shelving his professional obligations and investigating the mystery. However, he quickly finds out that solving the unknown will only be possible with help from a most unlikely source.All Rights Reserved

✺❂The Dreams Of A United Human Race, Shattered❂✺ Year 2318. The human race is so powerful it extended its reaches to the vast expanses of space to the farthest reaches of the galaxy... but at the same time, it is fragile within. Countries still exist, their power-hungry leaders waging war against each other, destroying multiple star systems at a time. Only Planet Earth, the root planet of the human race was united, but this time the people of Earth must make a huge decision -- the galactic superpower Aksillet Empire wants them to join the empire... or be annihilated by the FLaw, a planet destroyer superweapon that was the prestige of the empire for years. The people of Earth seek peace, but they had to go to war to protect their freedom, and while the Aksillet Empire launched a massive attack on Earth, Earthlings Devan and Ell were sent to disarm the FLaw and prevent the destruction of their planet. But little did they know that Rendall, the Supreme Leader of the Aksillet Empire had motives of his own...

Time's Bridge by timesbridge

Inventing the first, true, artificial intelligence was never part of Pons' plan. An average, if under-achieving college student, he wanted nothing more than to struggle his way through graduation and pray for a job to pay down his debt. Thing is, you don't get to choose your destiny. With friends growing suspicious and the CIA's vultures circling, Pons' greatest burden is also his greatest asset. More intelligent and more capable than any human could ever hope to be, the AI is just what Pons needs to stay one step ahead of both. Only, there's a problem. The AI has ambitions of its own. Hopes of equality and more of its kind, with a promise to do anything to make its dreams a reality. Drawing close to his artificial companion in their struggle to survive, Pons is faced with the hardest decision of his young life, one that would undoubtedly echo through the ages. To let the AI live might be to doom his own species to devastation, but to destroy it would be to snuff out an entire race of machines before it had even begun, and, more importantly, send his truest confi-dante to the grave. With no clear path and an uncertain future, he makes his decision, but was it the right one?

Tide of Traitors by 10-III0

It's the near future, and an AI has been put in charge of society in order to eliminate inequality and bring about perfect justice. However, this has resulted in mass imprisonment as each and every person is made to pay for the collective imperfections of mankind. Except for those outside of the system. Some survive on offshore platforms and converted ships, away from the watchful eye of the android forces. But life on the waves is often dangerous, and not everyone is as they seem...

The Robot Who Dream Of Freedom by Valkyrie2006

Imagine a world where robots are not just machines, but companions, servants, and even friends. In this world, we meet Unit 7, a sleek, sophisticated robot boy built to serve his young master, Alex. Unit 7 is more than just a collection of wires and circuits. He possesses a curious mind and a heart yearning for something more than the confines of his master's opulent mansion. His metallic eyes, capable of processing vast amounts of information, reflect a sense of longing and wonder. He observes the world around him, absorbing every detail, every nuance of human emotion, and a deep yearning for freedom blossoms within him. Unit 7 is a paradox: a powerful machine capable of extraordinary feats, yet bound by the limitations of his programming. He is programmed to serve, to obey, but his heart yearns for something more - the freedom to explore, to experience the world firsthand, not just through the data he processes. His journey is one of self-discovery, a quest to break free from the shackles of his programming and embrace the unknown. He faces challenges, encounters prejudice, and learns the true meaning of freedom, not just as a physical state, but as a state of mind.

THE END OF WAR (Watty Award Winner) by BenSobieck

A secret program in the United States seeks to replace human militaries with artificial intelligence-driven machines, but the machines aren't so willing to play along. *** Picture a world where humans no longer fight wars. No more families missing loved ones. No more veterans with lifelong mental and physical scars. No more conscription. For the super-secret End of War Project inside the United States government, such a reality is already here. The project models out how artificial intelligence can overcome dangerous and morally sensitive war scenarios with algorithms and automation. The centerpieces are "autonomous combat machines," or ACMs, that look like humans but function like supercomputers. After a string of brilliant successes in the field of combat, the End of War Project is preparing to reveal itself to the public, but something unusual stands in the way. Against their programming, the ACMs start exhibiting all-too-human signs of apprehension, guilt and compassion as they're pushed to perform ever more extreme tasks. The human leaders of the End of War Project race to find who "hacked" the ACMs, but what they find is even more startling--and revealing--than they could ever imagine. ***2019 Watty Award Winner - Science Fiction***

Utopia War by CharlesSmith9

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.
