Enter a dystopian vision of tomorrow made possible by the very technology which was supposed to set us free. Leave assumptions behind. They will not help you here. A multi-planetary system, bogged down by an apathetic society and an overly bureaucratic interplanetary government, has become complacent and static. Little do they know that a forgotten pact from long ago is coming back to haunt them. And the collector is taking no prisoners. A drug-addicted psychopath believes he has it made in his little corner of hell on Terra 4. Then a most unexpected visitor threatens to remove a veil he never knew he was wearing. Is his world real, or is he rotting in a prison locked inside a Virtual Sim? The ever-increasing rate of implantation of technology into the body is causing a mass social adjustment disorder. Legal and ethical mores are strained to the point of falling apart. Then a woman appears who just may be the straw which breaks the camels back. In the world of tomorrow, incredible advancements in artificial intelligence, body implantation of high-grade technology, and addiction with VR space all seem to have come together to create a society losing its grip on the very fabric which holds it together. The three stories contained in Science Fiction Short Stories: Warnings from the Future, Cyberpunk Series 2, present an intelligent look into plausible futures based on the technological trends we see today. This collection of Science Fiction Short Stories from P. T. Logos, entitled Warnings from the Future, is a new edition to the great SciFi / Cyberpunk tradition of Charles Stross, Iain M. Banks, Frank Herbert, and Peter Hamilton.
