Book excerpt: We live in an alternate universe. My husband sacrificed himself to save me from alien enemies entering our solar system. Saving me left him in a vegetable state. This is my second jump into the alternate universe to pick up another part of his soul. My last mission was successful. He regained some of his strength but not enough for him to open his eyes. No other scientist has traveled to other dimensions, except military volunteers. They told me to expect the unexpected. When I landed on this alternate universe, I was shocked. There was no Earth. Humans became part machines to survive in space colonies. Cyborgs littered the solar system. I was sold to a crew in exchange for food and machine parts. I hope I’m lucky as my first mission and I find my husband in this 6-man crew. Only one way to find out. Once we mate, I will know. This book is a short MMF / dark read full of heat. It deals with mature themes that may be triggering for some. See author’s note in the beginning of the book. Each book ends with HFN (Happy for Now).

Download or read book Letters to the Cyborgs written by Judyth Baker and published by TrineDay. This book was released on 2016-06-30 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Letters to the Cyborgs describes a frightening future about to land on our doorsteps, based on inventions, science and technology we have today. Each story details the political, social, and environmental destruction of our world as Artificial Intelligence takes over the planet. With intelligence, insight and humor, Baker examines what it means to be human in a world where Cyborgs and robots rule. Ranging from chilling visions of Armageddon to haunting stories of the power of human love, with some comic relief thrown in to make the truth easier to handle, this groundbreaking collection of short stories faces the questions scientists, politicians and corporations are ignoring: when Artificial Intelligence becomes "self-aware" and is a thousand times more intelligent than any human being, what happens next? Scientists tell us that this "Singularity" will occur by 2030. "What is human?" will become the most important question in history as humans become 51% or more machine.
