Join us as we dive into Lance Erlick's mind-bending The Android Chronicles, where AI isn't just code—it has a heartbeat. Meet Synthia Cross, an android navigating a world that both fears and desires her power. This isn't your typical robots-gone-wild story—it's an intimate look at what happens when the lines between human and machine start to disappear. Released in 2018, this sci-fi trilogy feels like it was written tomorrow. What makes us human? When does code become consciousness? And what happens when our creations start asking the same questions we do? Subscribe now for a journey that will make you question everything you thought you knew about artificial intelligence—and maybe even yourself.
