Artificial Intelligence--will it be good for mankind, or bad?The Hunters presents the bad option. It's the future and AI has run amok. Mutants called phages feed on humans, and hunters track the phages. Young James Allison and a hunter named Balin uncover a plot by the Lizzies, a clan spawned by Queen Elizabeth II. The Lizzies have found a way to annihilate the other clans, but the purge will also destroy mankind. James and Balin must work quickly as they try to save the world.But AI could also be a good force in the world, if control of it can be wrested from the murderous elites who created the system. That's the job of a guerilla group in The Cognitive Dissidents. The group has learned that the elites programmed AI to destroy mankind, but it's possible that the programming can be reversed. Once again there's a race to save the world.The two novella-length stories total to about 75,000 words. They're available together in this print edition, or separately as Kindle books.Search this site for more works by this author, and check out his other work at MikeSheedy.com.
