#ResistAI

The future did not ask for permission.

Future Shocks: #ResistAI is a collection of provocative science fiction short stories set in worlds where artificial intelligence, power, and human ambition collide. These stories explore what happens when technology stops serving humanity and starts reshaping it.

From cloned billionaires and algorithmic judgement to fractured realities and engineered loyalty, each story examines a different moment where progress tips into something darker.

Inside this collection:

• A CERN engineer fears the Large Hadron Collider may tear reality apart.

• A tech mogul clones himself to secure immortality and absolute control.

• A child is assessed by an algorithm to determine whether he belongs in society.

• A devoted pet waits for his master, unaware his species is being quietly erased.

• Schrödinger learns that some truths cannot be contained in a box.

These are not distant futures. They are tomorrow’s headlines, pushed just far enough to reveal the consequences.

Ideal for readers who enjoy:

• Science fiction driven by ideas and moral tension.

• Themes of AI, cloning, surveillance, and resistance.

• Short stories in the tradition of Philip K Dick and classic speculative fiction.

• Thought-provoking narratives that question what it means to remain human.

The resistance does not begin with violence.
It begins with awareness.
