Jule Owen's story 'Déjà vu Suicide' read by Nic Schmale at Virtual Futures' Near-Future Fictions on the theme of Laws Don't Apply.

Virtual Futures continues its mission to to reassert the significance of science fiction as a tool for navigating the increasing technologization of society and culture.

At Near-Future Fictions science fiction authors presented stories that explore, explode or exemplify Isaac Asimov's fundamental laws of robotics: 1) Thou, Robot, shalt not injure a human being or let one come to harm, 2) Thou, Robot, shalt obey all orders lest they conflict with the above law, and 3) Thou, Robot, must protect thine own existence lest this compromises the first two laws. They took us on uncomfortable ethical journeys that left us questioning whether Asimov’s commandments were still adequate, overly simplistic, or perhaps even inimical to their own sentiment.
