Short Stories with AI is a curated anthology of speculative fiction that explores the evolving relationship between artificial intelligence and the human condition. The stories span diverse settings, from dystopian megacities and steampunk empires to derelict space stations and isolated agrarian colonies, yet remain thematically unified by a central concern: what happens when machines begin to feel, remember, or dream? Through the voices of robots, androids, simulation workers, and memory engineers, the collection examines questions of autonomy, emotion, ethics, and the boundaries of sentience. Each story is crafted to function both as an individual narrative and as a fragment of a larger philosophical inquiry into identity, consciousness, and the nature of being; whether organic or synthetic.
