When Robots Hug (Science and Fiction)
By James A. Crowder, Alan C. Crowder. 2024
By 2027, it had been seven years since the scientists’ sea-changing research on artificial psychology and robotics. The work debuted…
around the same time as Large Language Model Chatbots, and the power of the integration of the two technologies put many industries in a tailspin. The commercial and defense industries especially were still scrambling to regulate their use in research and universities. The sought-after scientists signed with DARPA to build reliable and secure AI entities, but the agency grew fearful of the technology’s power and ultimately decided it was too dangerous to bring to market and demanded the scientists destroy the work. The researchers couldn’t bring themselves to discard 20 years of research, so instead sent the entities to various research labs around the world. But unbeknownst to them, each AI-entity embraced its new home, growing, adapting, evolving, and ultimately connecting beyond what the researchers could envision. In the end, as the scientists catch up to each one, they realize the entities have discovered a very human means of interacting: the power of physical contact; and not physical contact between humans and technology, but physical contact between robotic entities. And with this discovery, the entities join forces to only grow stronger. This development ushers in a new paradigm where the difference between AI-entities and human entities becomes less and less discernible. All the AI and robotic science featured in the book is real; the story line is fictional, but with how fast innovation moves, it’s not hard to envision.![](https://www.bookshare.org/cover/UZ/UZbhITiy4AFlizkwPmOPQhop3potKl7otL335XbEfnI-SMALL.png)

Call of the Last Survivor: An Unofficial Fortnite Novel
By Ken A Moore. 2018
Will Mikaleh and her friends unravel the mystery of the ruby key and discover who—or what—is the Lone Survivor? Of…
all the squads in what remains of the known world—that is, after the onset of “The Storm” and the mysterious zombie hordes that came with it—no squad has a reputation like Squad #43! Helmed by the valiant Mikaleh (a mighty Soldier) and her sidekick Janet (a stalwart and even-tempered Constructor), they’re known across the multiverse of servers as the deadliest dispatchers of Mist Monsters and Husks in all the land. Their reputation for finding and freeing survivors is unmatched, and they’re second-to-none when it comes to discovering clever tricks and secrets. Rounded out by Sam (an Outlander) and Sammy (a Ninja)—a quirky pair, who fight like brothers but always reconcile like best friends—Squad #43 seems on an unstoppable trajectory to combat The Storm and restore the world, bit by bit, to something like its former self. Yet Mikaleh can hardly believe her eyes when she returns to base camp one morning—after a long evening of satisfying zombie-killing—to find that the Husks appear to have. . . reached out to them! A mysterious message, seeming to be from the very monsters themselves, urges Squad #43 to attend a secret rendezvous in Canny Valley where more will be revealed. Never one to turn down a mystery, Mikaleh soon finds her squad plunged into a strange intrigue beyond her wildest dreams![](https://www.bookshare.org/cover/fv/fvqYt7NvxthBIQcoYdz7zz-UakXNeA3GdZ70agfj6AU-SMALL.jpg)

Analyzing Digital Fiction: Analyzing Digital Fiction (Routledge Studies in Rhetoric and Stylistics)
By Astrid Ensslin, Alice Bell, Hans Kristian Rustad. 2014
Written for and read on a computer screen, digital fiction pursues its verbal, discursive and conceptual complexity through the digital…
medium. It is fiction whose structure, form and meaning are dictated by the digital context in which it is produced and requires analytical approaches that are sensitive to its status as a digital artifact. Analyzing Digital Fiction offers a collection of pioneering analyses based on replicable methodological frameworks. Chapters include analyses of hypertext fiction, Flash fiction, Twitter fiction and videogames with approaches taken from narratology, stylistics, semiotics and ludology. Essays propose ways in which digital environments can expand, challenge and test the limits of literary theories which have, until recently, predominantly been based on models and analyses of print texts.![](https://www.bookshare.org/cover/pz/pzVX62zyEjBKtGyfWJ1T_5OaOFh_EPOuw4VeFAWmTFY-SMALL.jpg)
