ROBOT UPRISINGS Anthology

Features Scott's story "Complex God," a GFL tie-in.

This race of intelligent, self-replicating machines is shrouded in fear, mystery and mistrust, yet at the center of it all is the "living god" known as Petra Prawatt — a human girl. What is her story? How did she become the focal point of the galaxy's most-populous — and most-warlike — race?

Find out in "Complex God," a novelette in the anthology ROBOT UPRISINGS. Edited by scifi anthology legend John Joseph Adams and ROBOPOCALYPSE author Daniel H. Wilson, this book brings together some serious world-destroying talent.

ANTHOLOGY SYNOPSES:
Humans beware. As the robotic revolution continues to creep into our lives, it brings with it an impending sense of doom. What horrifying scenarios might unfold if our technology were to go awry? From self-aware robotic toys to intelligent machines violently malfunctioning, this anthology brings to life the half-formed questions and fears we all have about the increasing presence of robots in our lives.

With contributions from a mix of bestselling, award-winning, and up-and-coming writers, and including a rare story by “the father of artificial intelligence,” Dr. John McCarthy, Robot Uprisings meticulously describes the exhilarating and terrifying near-future in which humans can only survive by being cleverer than the rebellious machines they have created.
