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 thirteen authors confront the question of the Singularity: that point of time when A.I. becomes more than simply a human construct. From machine 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.The A.I. Chronicles features stories by bestselling author David Simpson (the Post-Human series) Prix Aurora winner Julie Czerneda (In the Company of Others) plus eleven more of today's top authors in speculative and science fiction.
