Aliens and Androids by J.J. Harlan Pdf

Winner of “Honorable Mention” in Future Writers of America contest (Electric Raspberries, 2nd Quarter Honorable Mention 2019 FWA by Galaxy Press) “...I found it impossible to put this book down” — Kylie Brooks “Beautifully done” — JayC “Classic sci-fi is back” — Amazon Reader Have you ever wondered what a UFO abduction is like from the alien’s viewpoint? Can a machine provide comfort to a dying woman? What would it be like to fall into the hands of a get-rich-quick scheming extraterrestrial? All these questions and more are answered in this book of wonderfully crafted short stories by breakout author, J.J. Harlan. If Ray Bradbury and Douglas Adams collaborated on writing, they’d present something like this incredible collection of science fiction short stories. Ranging from achingly beautiful to uproariously hilarious, this remarkable compilation of stories will evoke nostalgic feelings of the golden days of science fiction, when the promises of the future mingled with the pains of the human present. In these short stories, you’ll read about: Alien first contact and their surprising reason to visit Earth UFO abductions gone wrong A shocking population control program in a dystopian future What androids can learn from humans Hilarious Extraterrestrial comedy And much, much more... They will both remind you of the classic shorts you know and love, and turn sci-fi comedy tropes inside out and upside down.

Full Real: Dek's given up his life of spying for the city. But one more case awaits him. Will he regret it more if he takes it, or turns it down?

Doing Animal Studies with Androids, Aliens, and Ghosts by David P. Rando Pdf

Exploring what can be learnt when literary critics in the field of animal studies temporarily direct attention away from representations of nonhuman animals in literature and towards liminal figures like androids, aliens and ghosts, this book examines the boundaries of humanness. Simultaneously, it encourages the reader both to see nonhuman animals afresh and to reimagine the terms of our relationships with them. Examining imaginative texts by writers such as Octavia Butler, Philip K. Dick, Kazuo Ishiguro, Jeanette Winterson and J. M. Coetzee, this book looks at depictions of androids that redefine traditional humanist qualities such as hope and uniqueness. It examines alien visions that unmask the racist and heteronormative roots of speciesism. And it unpacks examples of ghosts and spirits who offer posthumous visions of having-been-human that decenter anthropocentrism. In doing so, it leaves open the potential for better relationships and futures with nonhuman animals.

Android Karenina by Leo Tolstoy,Ben H. Winters Pdf

Leo Tolstoy meets robots in this “creepy, thrilling, and highly enjoyable” sci-fi mashup of the classic Russian novel Anna Karenina (Library Journal). “ . . . lives up to its promise to make Tolstoy ‘awesomer.’”—The Onion AV Club It’s been called the greatest novel ever written. Now, Tolstoy’s timeless saga of love and betrayal is transported to an awesomer version of 19th-century Russia. It is a world humming with high-powered groznium engines: where debutantes dance the 3D waltz in midair, mechanical wolves charge into battle alongside brave young soldiers, and robots—miraculous, beloved robots!—are the faithful companions of everyone who’s anyone. Restless to forge her own destiny in this fantastic modern life, the bold noblewoman Anna and her enigmatic Android Karenina abandon a loveless marriage to seize passion with the daring, handsome Count Vronsky. But when their scandalous affair gets mixed up with dangerous futuristic villainy, the ensuing chaos threatens to rip apart their lives, their families, and—just maybe—all of planet Earth.
