In "Welcome to Oxhead," all the parents in a gated community "shut off" when the power goes out. In "Portals," a small town deals with hope and loss when dozens of portals suddenly open. In "The Now of Now," two teenagers who can literally stop time find themselves falling in love. In "How They Got In," a grieving family starts to see a murdered girl in all of their old home videos.

Harriet Wolf, eine gefeierte Bestsellerautorin, veröffentlichte einst sechs Bücher, die die Welt verschlang. Nach ihrem Tod wird gemunkelt, dass ein geheimes siebtes Manuskript existiert, das die in den sechs Romanen erzählte Liebesgeschichte zu einem romantischen Ende bringe. Erzählt von Enkelin Tilton, ihrer ungleichen Schwester Ruth sowie Eleanor, der Mutter der Mädchen, eröffnet sich dem Leser eine außergewöhnliche Familiengeschichte dreier Generationen von Frauen. Das Herz ist die Lebensgeschichte der Großmutter Harriet, die in den Romanen ihre eigene große tragische Liebe verarbeitete. Wird Tilton das Manuskript des verschollenen letzten Romans aufzuspüren und damit das Geheimnis um ihren unbekannten Großvater lösen?

With contributions from a mix of bestselling, award-winning, and up-and-coming writers, and including a rare story by “the father of artificial intelligence,” Dr. John McCarthy, Robot Uprisings meticulously describes the exhilarating and terrifying near-future in which humans can only survive by being cleverer than the rebellious machines they have created.
