Ten Short Stories for Geeks: Volume 1: The Anti-Heroes

The author of LOVE ROBOTS, the most subversive Sci-Fi novel in a long time, brings you this collection of mostly Sci-Fi humor short stories about geeks, ruffians and immorality.

The stories you are about to read are not stories of heroes with high moral values. Quite the opposite. They are stories of anti-heroes with no moral values whatsoever. Therefore, do not expect to find any redeeming qualities in here that uplift the spirit above and beyond with high values of leadership and examples of virtue.

What you can expect to find are funny, stories about everyday Joes and Janes. Well, everyday geeky Joes and Janes. What you will read are stories anyone can relate to, starred by mundane, imperfect, flawed characters who are selfish, cynical and egotistical. Just like everybody out there.

You will read about a salaried office worker on the Moon; A feminist questioned about software; An alien invasion that didn’t go as planned; How the afterlife deals with a certain kind of death; A nanobot experiment that defies science; A gas station clerk in space; A geek girl who snapped in high school; Security guards entertained by an old machine at an art gallery; A robotics engineer and his rival; And the end of the world on Mars.

All of these stories are intended to be humorous. If you laugh when you read them, their purpose will be served. If you find any important life lessons in them, then stop smoking whatever it is that you’re smoking because it’s affecting your brain.

But most important of all, just relax and enjoy the stories. They’re fun, they’re short, they’re geekfest galore, and you can read one each time you go to the bathroom. It will be the best ten loaves you will pinch this month.
