Руди Рюкер3.1 Кобб Андерсон, легендарный учёный, который был проклят на Земле за свою научную деятельность, зато стал самой настоящей легендой среди бопперов (роботы, у которых имеется возможность эволюционировать), проживает во Флориде, в одной из резервация для стариков. Он хронически пьёт, его сердце уже не настоящее, заменённое, причём не самого высокого качества. Казалось бы, ждать от жизни нечего. Но тут появляется робот, в его собственном обличье, который заявляет, что бопперы с Луны его не забыли, и готовы ему помочь – например, даровать бессмертие…
R. A. Lafferty0.0 Aurelia was a fifteen-year-old girl. From a very advanced world. She'd passed Starship building easily enough. But she'd slept through most of celestial navigation. That was how she ended up on a little back-water dump like Earth. Where her advanced powers seemed like miracles. Some thought she was the Messiah. Some thought she was the Devil. No one was prepared for the truth.
John Sladek0.0 He isn't human; but he isn't all robot either. He started life in a lab, went to Parochial School, was kidnapped by gypsies, chased by roboticidal, and incompetent, hit-men, told fortunes on the Midway, and finally fostered by an elderly couple who gave up writing science fiction when their stories came true. He's Roderick, the first robot programmed to learn and think, and sent out into the world to re-invent it...
Steve Rasnic Tem0.0 Steve Rasnic Tem short fiction has been compared to the work of Franz Kafka, Dino Buzzati, ay Bradbury, and Raymond Carver, but to quote Joe R Lansdale: "Steve Rasnic Tem is a school of writing unto himself." His 200 plus published pieces have garnered him a British Fantasy Award, and nominations for the World Fantasy and Bram Stoker Awards.
