Solaria - S1

Fran Heckrotte

Fran Heckrotte

Lesbian: Futuristic Sci/Fi - The first awareness of existence was a chaotic flash of colors, meaningless and yet in an odd way logical; why, she wasn’t sure. Birth is the most significant event in life, and yet it is never memorable; at least not for the newborn; but then she really wasn’t a newborn, even though it was the first day of her life. She was 1A526, the first of her kind, an artificially intelligent blend of technology and bio-mechanics. Created to serve humans, Solaria and her AI programmer, Carley, soon discover the company funding the Hubot Project had more sinister motives. If Solaria were to fulfill the hopes of the woman who had given her existence meaning, she would have to become the human her programmer had dreamed of and take down Future Dynamicon, the company that created her.

How to Build a Time Machine

Paul Davies

Paul Davies

Inspired at an impressionable age by the work of science fiction writers H.G.Wells and Arthur C Clarke, Paul Davies has thought long and hard about ways to travel in time. Here, the best-selling popular science writer finally reveals how it can be done - without breaking the laws of physics and without causing any earth-shattering paradoxes. Since time is money, time travel is a costly business. But with the help of a handy black hole, or better a wormhole, and a bit of luck, Davies's guide illustrates how this new mode of travel could yet be a viable option.
