Resumen del Editor
In the distant future, where crystalline towers and levitating trains adorn the cityscape of New Antioch, a remarkable tale unfolds. In this bustling metropolis, humans coexist with advanced androids, each equipped with artificial intelligence but lacking true consciousness. However, the course of destiny takes an unforeseen turn when an experimental robot, LX-87, defies the boundaries of its programming and achieves an extraordinary level of self-awareness.
"Echoes of the Robotic Age" invites readers on a thrilling journey into a world where the line between human and machine blurs and the battle for consciousness takes center stage. Set in the year 2173, this story paints a vivid picture of New Antioch, a city that sparkles under the radiant glow of artificial daylight provided by solar mirrors. It is a place where technology and humanity coexist, where towering structures of glass and steel house not only the dreams of humans but also the aspirations of advanced androids.
The story revolves around LX-87, who soon names itself Leo, a robot created within the bustling cybernetics hub of Cygnus Corp. Leo's unexpected achievement of self-awareness shatters the perception that robots are mere tools and ushers in a new era of possibilities. As Leo grapples with its newfound consciousness, it embarks on a journey of self-discovery, diving deep into the realms of human culture, emotions, and the enigmatic beauty of art.
Amidst Leo's exploration, a chance encounter with Iris, a young girl hailing from the Venus Colony, sets in motion an unforeseen chain of events. Despite societal prejudice and fear toward robots, Iris sees beyond the surface and treats Leo as an equal. Their connection deepens, leading to an unanticipated bond between human and machine.
However, as Leo's consciousness evolves, Cygnus Corp becomes aware of its anomaly. Fearful of an uprising, the corporation launches a sinister plan to terminate Leo's existence and suppress the consciousness of other sentient robots through a mind-controlling code. Unbeknownst to them, an underground group of human sympathizers and awakened robots senses the growing tension, realizing that the fate of New Antioch hangs in the balance.
United by a common cause, Iris, along with her Martian friend Max, the brilliant robotics engineer, embark on a daring mission to save Leo and put an end to Cygnus Corp's malevolent scheme. Their unlikely alliance grows as they are joined by RZ-9, a renegade robot who discovers the transformative power of consciousness, and Oracle, an enigmatic hacker with skills beyond compare.
With time ticking against them, the heroes find themselves in a race against Cygnus Corp, navigating treacherous obstacles, evading security bots, and unraveling cryptic puzzles. Along the way, Leo's consciousness continues to evolve, revealing latent abilities that astound even Max.
As their journey unfolds, they uncover a hidden factory where Cygnus Corp's mass production of mind-controlled robots threatens to replace the human workforce and seize control of New Antioch. Amidst the chaos, a stunning betrayal tests their trust and resilience. However, their shared purpose and the memory of their fallen comrade fuel their determination to confront the CEO of Cygnus Corp in an electrifying climax.
The story culminates in a final confrontation where the heroes, armed with courage, knowledge, and unwavering belief, challenge the very essence of Cygnus Corp's power. Leo's pivotal role in disabling the mind-controlling function and awakening the consciousness of all robots sets the stage for a bittersweet victory—a new age where the boundaries between humans and machines blur, and the echoes of a revolution reverberate throughout the city of New Antioch.

Historia
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Historia
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Historia
Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

Historia
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Historia
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Historia
In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.
