Description

"AIIIIIIEEEEE! It's A.I. And Bots And Borgs And Droids" is a collection of short stories premised on Artificial Intelligence and the future of that technology vis-a-vis impact upon humanity. Stories range from humorous to ponderous to wondrous. While the AI technology has already provided amazing feats with promises of much more to come, it also has been shown to present some worrying aspects.

The central question explored in this book centers on just where will people fit in when AI dominates human society? Or will there be a place for humans at all?

About The Author

Steven Lance is a writer/musician. He lives in Upstate New York with his Herbalist and Plant Spirit Healer wife, Barbara. Besides "AIIIIIIEEEEE! It's A.I. And Bots And Borgs And Droids", his other published books are two volumes of short stories, "Vulgarian Goulash" and "Vulgarian Goulash: Second Serving". His eBook novels are "Praying The Price", "A Meta-Reflection On Life: How I Did Or Did Not Survive the Pandemic", "A Meta-Reflection On Life: Volume II" and "A Meta-Reflection On Life: Volume III". His first book of a trilogy has been published, titled "Celestial Palace: Galactic Band of Renown." It's about a band that travels the universe playing gigs in hopes of changing worlds for the better, helping them to evolve, which rouses the ire of the Keepers of Non-Light who represent the Spiritual/Physical forces that champion darkness over light, submission rather than ascension, an order of mind-numbing sameness rather than the chaos splash of creativity that leads to new and better futures. The second ("Celestial Palace: The Interregnum") and third volume ("Celestial Palace: The Reckoning") will be published in 2026. Steven Lance has been a Science Fiction devotee very nearly his entire life. He feels honored to write in a genre he loves.
