Ctrl Alt Del: Drabbles 2

by Brandi Hicks (Editor), Shelly Jarvis (Editor), Cecelia Hopkins-Drewer (Foreword)

Artificial Intelligence is taking over the world! Super AI, robots, cyborgs, killer toasters, and cell phones...where does it end?

We created them, putting the spark of life into the machines we built so they could make our lives easier. But now, intelligent machines are taking taking over, turning us into their slaves while they become masters of the human race. Whether it's the rise of the refrigerator army, a GPS falling in love with their human driver, or the too-realistic robots body-swapping with our friends and relatives, there's sure to be a story for you.

Join more than 50 international authors as they spin short tales of AI dominance that will have you looking at your all-in-one printer in a whole new light.

[Robert Bagnall · Rating 4 out of 5]

Drabbles are a great discipline, requiring a story told in one hundred words, no more, no less. There’s something of a relentlessness over robots and AI becoming sentient, but sentient robots are just that, aren’t they?

Full disclosure: I have a story here, in amongst a hundred and fifty or so others. And one of the few that isn’t about technology becoming sentient, oddly enough.
