I’m telling you, in about five years when the tech has advanced, somebody is going to use AI to make a series adapting all these great (and many of them, public domain) stories and make themselves a good bit of coin.

  • Hey, we hit one of these I recognize. This story is a part of Armchair Fiction Double Novels, which you can pick up as a Kindle book or a paperback through Amazon. You might be able to find it other places, naturally. It's paired with The Man With Absolute Motion, in case that matters.

    I tried reading it myself, but never finished. That's not a condemnation, mind you. If it doesn't hook me right, I'll drop the book, only to come back to it later and breeze right through it.

    Armchair Fiction Double Novels have a lot of neat titles. Were I to recommend one, it would be You're All Alone/The Liquid Man. The latter is an okay time waster, but the former is a pip. Written by the great Fritz Lieber, You're All Alone is reminiscent of stories like They Live and The Matrix in which the protagonist suddenly discovers the world he lives in is not only not what it seems, but also very hazardous to his health. Most entertaining.

    Anyways, these collections shouldn't be that hard to find and are excellent sources of classic pulp reading.

  • It just clicked that I'm shilling for books while I have Boris Badenov as an avatar. That seems oddly appropriate…

    In a way he looks like a fire robot trying to put out that flaming jet.

    I think Sinister Cinema sells those too, and they fall under their 10 for $99 sales (or whatever it is now) if you get them by the lot.

    Sinister Cinema's website makes my eyes hurt.

    Um Ken, are you sure showing an AI a bunch of stories about killer robot rebellions is a good idea????

    Mmm, it might speed things up a bit, but let's admit, we're heading there in any case.

  • If all the stories end in the robots' inevitable end, then hell yeah. At least that's what Wargames taught me.
