About the Book
"One of Me - 2 Near Future Short Stories" is a gripping collection of two short stories set in a not-too-distant future, each unraveling compelling narratives that entwine technology, morality, and the human spirit.
In "The Last Rejection" readers are introduced to a world startlingly similar to our own, but with an ominous twist. The story follows the journey of a frustrated job candidate who, after facing one rejection too many, embarks on a dark path of revenge. This tale masterfully explores the depths of desperation and the dangerous consequences of a society driven by cutthroat competition and unyielding corporate structures.
The second story, "One Of Me" transports readers into a dystopian world where robots and clones have replaced human labor, painting a chilling picture of technological advancement gone awry. Amidst this backdrop, a string of gruesome murders targeting clones unfolds, sending shockwaves through the society. A determined detective, grappling with questions of identity, consciousness, and the value of artificial life, delves into the mystery. This narrative not only thrills with its suspenseful plot but also provokes profound reflections on the ethical dilemmas surrounding artificial intelligence and cloning.
Together, these stories create a captivating book that not only entertains but also invites readers to ponder the ethical and moral implications of our future technological choices. Perfect for fans of speculative fiction, "One Of Me - 2 Near-Future Short Stories" is a must-read for anyone fascinated by the intersection of humanity and the ever-evolving digital age.
