Re:evolution and the Radiant Machine: A World of Automatic Short Story
The next stage of evolution has just occurred: man has merged with machine on a spiritual level to produce an android unlike any other. As the world applauds this gigantic leap for mankind, one man, Bernard Shively, an analyst by trade, doesn’t applaud. He still harbors deep-seated resentment for the machine that he blames for getting him fired. But that will all change as he devises a simple plan to get revenge on his former employer, Re:Evolution. A bonus will be destroying the first evolved man in the process.
Doctor Charles Gleason has been selected by the Re:Evolution imagineers to climb the next rung on the evolutionary ladder. When his soul is transferred to his new golden body, he’s worshipped like a god on earth. But this god falls victim to a cunning ex-analyst with an overachieving mind trapped in an underachieving body. And the fall is spectacular.

The Charm Bracelet: The Cyborg Chronicles (Future Chronicles 9)
Cyborgs. Part-robot. Part-human. Even now, with our pacemakers, our holographic eyewear, our cybernetic limbs, it is difficult to deny that we are approaching an age when the line between humankind and machine is beginning to blur.
In the age of the ‘post-human’ being, in a world when your humanity can be measured by the number of electro-mechanical components that have replaced your biological limbs, what will be the measure of a man?
In ‘The Cyborg Chronicles’, twelve of today’s top speculative fiction writers explore the approaching collision of humanity and technology.
Darkly Cries the Digital: The AI Chronicles
A.I.: Artificial Intelligence. Even today, machines that mimic human thinking surround us. As the intellectual feats of computing machines grow more and more astounding, will there be a day when their apparent intelligence approaches, or even surpasses, that of human beings? And what if these machines then become conscious, self-aware?
In this latest title in the acclaimed Future Chronicles series of speculative fiction anthologies created by award-winning author and series editor Samuel Peralta, thirteen authors confront the question of the Singularity: at and beyond that point of time when A.I. becomes more than simply a human construct. From first awareness to omniscience, these original short stories explore that territory where human intelligence comes face-to-face with what is either its greatest hope, or its greatest threat.
