Description
ROBOT TROUBLES is a science fiction novella set in a dystopian future where a ruthless authoritarian global elite government runs a corporate society driven by robot labor while most of humanity lives in squalor outside sleek cities in tent camps. It is controversial author George Pappas’ first science fiction work and is based on a short story he had written in his late teens. ROBOT TROUBLES takes place in New Los Angeles, a future version of the famed city. The story’s protagonist and unlikely hero is Luther Allison, a former infamous hacker and robot technician at a robot factory located in New Los Angeles. Once imprisoned by the government for his hacking activities, Luther is released from prison to work at the factory under the watchful eye of famous robot inventor Dr. Elaine Corkran. Unbeknownst to Dr. Corkran and the rest of the factory’s executive management, Luther has been quietly conducting a sabotage campaign at the factory for years, creating small “robot troubles” that slow down the factory’s robot project. Driven by guilt for playing a part in the government’s robot labor initiative and feeling that he has betrayed his fellow humans, Luther hatches an audacious plan to ignite a robot and human revolution against the ruthless authorities. Luther begins creating a series of robots, each more advanced than the next, to escape the factory and to reach his brother Ezekiel, an activist who has been banished to the tent cities, with his rebellion plan. One of Luther’s robots, AL-457, escapes the factory and contacts Ezekiel but is captured by the authorities shortly after. Luther knows his time is running short as he is temporarily suspended from his duties by Dr. Corkran. After things begin to fall apart at the factory without Luther’s expertise, Dr. Corkran is forced to bring back Luther to set things right again.
Yet knowing it was probably his last chance, Luther develops an advanced robot model, AL-BR88TOR, which proves a kind of “robot whisperer,” to advance the final phase of his plan.
Will Dr. Corkran finally become wise and turn in Luther to the authorities?
Will Luther’s rebellion work?
Will the robot AL-BR88TOR team up with Ezekiel to set off a robot and human revolution to overthrow the brutal government?
