Description

Fifteen original stories about our fear of and fascination with artificial intelligence Artificial intelligence has captured the imaginations of writers, readers, and scientists alike, from Karl Capek’s R.U.R. to Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics, from Robby the Robot to The Terminator and The Bicentennial Man, and—of course—Arthur C. Clarke’s Hal 9000. Now some of the most innovative thinkers in science fiction offer an intriguing variety of tales featuring the many forms of AI, from frightening to funny. These authors confront one of contemporary mankind’s deepest concerns—what do we do when the machines we created evolve beyond us?
