Letters to the Cyborgs

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 "e;self-aware"e; and is a thousand times more intelligent than any human being, what happens next? Scientists tell us that this "e;Singularity"e; will occur by 2030. "e;What is human?"e; will become the most important question in history as humans become 51% or more machine.
