Eating Robots cover

This collection of `ten-minute' stories are the perfect length for your commute or a thoughtful cup of coffee: The future is ours and it's up for grabs... Step into a high-tech vision of the future with author of 'Quantum Confessions' and 'Fluence': Stephen Oram. Featuring health-monitoring mirrors, tele-empathic romances and limb-repossessing bailiffs, 'Eating Robots' explores the collision of utopian dreams and twisted realities in a world where humanity and technology are becoming ever more intertwined. Sometimes funny, often unsettling, and always with a word of warning, these thirty sci-fi shorts will stay with you long after you've turned the final page.

"Eating Robots is a strong collection that melds together coherently into a near-future dystopian vision that extrapolates upon and slyly comments on trends and tendencies today. Like all good Science Fiction should." - Allen Ashley, British Fantasy Society Short Story Competition judge
