Nine authors collaborate to build a "Smart City" of the first world 100 years in the future, examining the results of projected modern trends such as ubiquitous computing, artificial intelligence, biotech, nanotech, anti-aging and green technologies - alongside corporate governance and social upheaval. "UbiquiCity" is a work of interwoven fiction that might turn out to be all too real. It is the dawn of the 22nd century, and in the sprawling metropolis known as "UbiquiCity," the most wealthy and powerful districts possess all the latest in smart technology, with every building, device and control system connected via the Internet Of Things. The world is augmented and identity is fluid. Satellite-guided cars drive themselves. Busy drones fill the skies. Cloud-assisted bots perform once-human jobs. Appliances, vehicles, buildings, media devices, products, streetlights, roadsigns and even toilets communicate electronically, all under the watchful eye of the AI CitySystem. For the inhabitants of the UbiComp zones, life is sweet. But not everyone in the city is so blessed. Short stories by Niko Carcosa, Antony Copeland, Tod Davies, Tod Foley, DeAnna Knippling, SL Koch, Shariann Lewitt, Adrian McCauley, and T Reynolds paint a picture of a realistic future city where ubiquitous computing is the source of much innovation, renovation and social disruption. Watch for the GameMaster's Sourcebook usable with any science fiction roleplaying game, taking you inside the world of UbiquiCity!

Ubiquicity

Memento Mori

Once a glittering center of arts and culture, the colony world of Reis is being ravaged by an unchecked plague. As anarchy, cynicism and suspicion spread, a handful of the planet's young artists struggle to keep hope alive, clashing in a deadly game of wits with the seductive artificial intelligence that has taken control of their world--and their minds.

On a once burgeoning, highly cultured human colony laid waste by a plague, a handful of survivors struggles against a sexually seething artificial intelligence that has taken control of their minds. By the author of Cybernetic Jungle.
