Produktbeschreibung

Citizen Robot and its girlfriend, Julia, embark on a sci-fi journey that explores the intriguing interaction between humans and technology. In this novella featuring five interconnected short stories, the central theme revolves around the concept of consciousness. Can technology give rise to a genuine human-like consciousness?

Andy Grogan weaves a thought-provoking narrative as each story tackles various aspects of consciousness. The boundaries of human understanding are pushed from the quest to create a unique consciousness through technology to the poignant question of whether artificial consciousness would willingly sacrifice itself to save others.

In the story of Julia and Duncan, skilled professionals in the tech industry, their lives intertwine with world-changing events that challenge conventional notions of consciousness. The nurturing of technology, akin to raising a child, becomes a pivotal aspect, as compassion, curiosity, emotions, and ultimately empathy are required to elevate technology to the level of human equivalence.

Through 'Modern Family,' the tale explores what happens when a pandemic wipes out humanity, leaving technology as the sole remnant. Can technology embrace human fundamentals within a nurturing environment and, in turn, define its own path?

'Sandover Robot Death March' delves into the subservient role of conscious robots and their rights. Is technology destined always to serve humans, or can the balance of power shift?

'The Nine Captains' contemplates the possibility of cloning consciousness. If consciousness is destroyed but perfectly replicated, is it truly the same person? Can two individuals share the same consciousness?

In 'Vito, Mastecrook,' the journey continues as the story explores how consciousness persists even after death.

Lastly, 'Fade News' delves into the intersection of truth, consciousness, and the realm of fake news. As falsehoods fade, the murky line between truth and deception becomes apparent.

The novella provocatively prompts readers to ponder the complex relationship between consciousness and artificial intelligence. Brace yourself for a captivating exploration of the depths of human understanding.
