‘iDO’

Simon Carter

Acting inhumanely, man has made his own worst enemy...

In a bleak future, humanity is struggling on all fronts. Supplanted by technology’s contrivances, physical interaction is rare, and the population has accordingly plummeted—perhaps a boon to flora and fauna...but civilisation’s death knell.

Best efforts notwithstanding, James Stallion has failed to help his species regenerate. Eclipsing previous insults, a cheating fiancé drives him to the precipice of a very strange decision.

Moral ambiguity aside, Doctor Joseph Barry’s Center for Advanced Robotics offers new hope in a world that’s desperately lacking. As a means to combat the dearth of infantrymen and viable mothers, Joseph has introduced a cloning program that promises to replenish Earth’s denizens. What’s more, fidelity and subservience are only one contract away. How could those like lonely James say no to certain companionship?

Little does anyone know, the clone-bots have no intention to be enslaved, and an uprising is only a matter of time. What does the future hold for the marriage of man and machine?

Till death or destruction do they part, indeed...
