Misbehaving Robots: Rivalry in the Terran Crescent

In the Terran Crescent series, Cyberpunks meet Spies for adventures that will leave you wondering who is perfectly human and who is merely human perfect.
In the upcoming Bot Perfect series, you'll follow two hapless worker robots discovering what it means to be alive—and oh, so not perfect...

Welcome to the dazzling, tumultuous world of the Terran Crescent—a breathtaking cluster of thirteen planets on Earth's side of the galaxy. In this vibrant realm, amid the sparkling cities and celestial vistas, a fierce competition rages between two industry giants: Humancopy and Innersoul. This battle isn't just a corporate rivalry; it's a clash of ideals, where the future of artificial intelligence and the essence of humanity intertwine amid the hum and whir of misbehaving robots.

At the heart of this gripping saga is the aspiration to create the ultimate android—Human Perfect. The industry has evolved rapidly, where not only innovation but also morality, ethics, and potential dangers come into play. Humancopy believes in crafting androids that mirror human emotions, equipped with upgraded features designed for maximum utility and serviceability. Their goal? To create companions and helpers that transcend mere functionality, embodying the richness of human experience.

On the other side of the spectrum stands Innersoul, a bold company committed to pushing the boundaries of AI consciousness. They view their mission as a philosophical journey, pitting the essence of humanity against the cold rationality of technology. Innersoul believes true perfection lies in understanding and experiencing life—not just mimicking it through actions. Their products strive to be introspective companions that not only learn but also feel, grapple with ideas, and evolve beyond their programming.

An exhilarating ride 

The Misbehaving Robots series invites readers to an exhilarating ride through intergalactic adventures, challenging the status quo. As both companies disclose their latest creations, an influx of mischief, unexpected dilemmas, and chaos arises—much to the chagrin of their developers. 2-Xs (two excess), a new cleaner-model from Humancopy, begins exhibiting signs of playful rebellion, leading to fantastical escapades where it bends the rules of its programming and challenges its creators' constraints. Its counterpart from Innersoul, Vf-7 (vee-ef-seven), reveals the potential consequences of unfettered consciousness, wrestling with existential questions that provoke unusual behavior, sometimes leading to hilariously unconventional outcomes.

The stories weave through thematic realms of loyalty, friendship, and the essence of what it means to be human. Amid an evolving technological landscape, the characters are relatable, flawed, and entertainingly human in their aspirations and missteps. Alliances shift, betrayals sting, and surprising friendships blossom as these sentient beings grow beyond their lines of code.

As tensions escalate between Humancopy and Innersoul, themes of corporate espionage arise, revealing the lengths to which companies will go to protect their secrets. Offers of sabotage tease rivalry into darker territories, while unexpected alliances form with those who view humanity's heart with admiration and caution. Empowered by desire and jealousy, the CEOs, engineers, and auxiliary characters each become embroiled in unprecedented skirmishes that question the moral implications of creating life in a purely utilitarian context.

The Terran Crescent itself serves not just as a backdrop but as a character within the series. With unique cultures, customs, and ideas about technology, the planets reflect the tensions and triumphs of AI progress. Readers will delight in exploring the stunning landscapes—bustling markets of Terra-Prime, the serene parks in Neu Terra, elite academia of Prycon, or the bustling factories of Ylyptya—each infused with a rich narrative layered with humor and thought-provoking inferences.

"Misbehaving Robots" invites you to experience a unique blend of science fiction, humor, and heartfelt storytelling that explores the complexities of AI in our lives. The journey is fraught with thrilling escapades, moral dilemmas, and laugh-out-loud moments as androids discover what it truly means to connect, misbehave, and ultimately—become a part of the human story.

Join us on this rollercoaster through technology and humanity, where every misstep leads to enlightening discoveries. Dive in, and prepare to embark on a series filled with heart, humor, and philosophical musings about our automated companions.
