About Samuel Peralta

Samuel Peralta's work has hit the USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestsellers lists, and been shortlisted for Best American Science Fiction & Fantasy.

The Future Chronicles has grown, from a single collection of robot stories, into a series whose unique take on major science fiction and fantasy themes – A.I., aliens, time travel, dragons, telepaths, zombies, immortality, galactic battles, cyborgs, doomsday – has made it one of the most acclaimed short story anthology series of the digital era.

Its companion series – Alt.Chronicles, The Illustrated Chronicles and Chronicle Worlds – are similarly ground-breaking in their coverage of less mainstream tropes such as alternative history and shared universes.

Created by award-winning author Samuel Peralta, and edited by some of the most-respected editors in the genre, each volume brings together work from visionary new voices and from the grandmasters of modern science fiction and fantasy.

This Future Chronicles Special Edition volume is a compendium of stories selected from the Chronicles’ standalone titles, and includes five new stories, never before published, from some of today’s best writers in speculative fiction.

In Alt.History 101, thirteen top speculative fiction authors re-imagine the world - as one where the inventor of the smallpox vaccine died before he'd created it, as one where the women's suffragist movement failed to win the right to vote, as one where the death penalty exists but where all forms of capital punishment are ruled inhumane - and ten other compelling stories charting the histories of these worlds.

Enter worlds so much like our own, yet so different - where everything you know... is history.

No escape. Nothing terrifies us more than being stranded - forsaken, cut-off, marooned in a place from which there is no way to home.

A soldier trapped in an endless war dies over and over, only to be awakened each time to fight again - one of the last remaining few seeking to save mankind from extinction. An RAF radio engineer in an abandoned military installation, who begins to suffer hallucinations, shifts in time and memories that are not his own. A colonial space explorer, sent alone to determine a planet's suitability for human colonization, who stumbles across a woman who is part of the same program but shouldn't be there at all. An assassin from the future, stranded when he fails in his mission, who knows he will soon cease to exist.

In this title in the acclaimed Future Chronicles series of speculative fiction anthologies, Amazon Breakthrough Novel finalist Michael Patrick Hicks and USA Today bestselling author Samuel Peralta join with some of the most exciting new voices in speculative fiction explore the mental, physical and metaphysical boundaries that imprison us when we are lost.

Robots. Androids. Artificial Intelligence. Scientists predict that the "singularity" -- the moment when mankind designs the first greater-than-human intelligence -- is nearly within our grasp. Believe it or not, truly sentient machines may be a reality within as little as 20 years.

Will these "post-human" intelligences be our friends? Our servants? Our rivals? What will we learn from them? What will they learn from us? Will we allow them to lead their own lives? Will they have basic human rights? Will we?

Science and society will be forced to address these questions sooner than you think. But science fiction is addressing these questions today. In The Robot Chronicles, thirteen of today's top sci-fi writers explore the approaching collision of humanity and technology.
