science fiction
The bridge between imagination and technological advancement, where the dreamer’s vision predicts change, and foreshadows a futuristic reality. Science fiction has the ability to become “science reality”.
Sentient Machines
In the not-so-distant future, a curious transformation is occurring in the world of robotics. We've long been accustomed to viewing robots as cold, logical machines programmed to carry out tasks with mechanical precision. However, a new wave of technology is sweeping across the field, one that promises to blur the lines between man and machine—robots with emotions.

Great Green, Little Green
Cape Green Few things in this world are truly exceptional. One of them is undoubtedly sunset over an archipelago in the middle of the ocean… and Cabo Verde, off the Green Cape peninsula of Dakar in former Senegal, checked all the boxes. However, only those who flew low-altitude with a heliocopter or a small hydrogen plane get the best view: not quite as low on the horizon as a ship, not as high as a fusion craft. Unfortunately, even in 2114 flying private on anything other than a jetpack was still pretty exclusive, which is why two night workers on the oil mega rig of the Russian corporation SeaBear, had the ideal location to witness the show, sitting in the control room of the highest tower of the platform. Dishearteningly, instead of taking advantage of the free entertainment, their faces were glued to the metavision, watching random news broadcasted live from their home nation.

Hyperborea
Denial - Norway When Karl steps off the plane, the thin layer of frost under his feet cracks. The weather is eerily merciful, the midnight sun is right above the horizon, but honestly, he has no idea if it’s rising or setting. The smell of pastries, smoked salmon and caramelized onions from the skyport cafes mixes with the metallic rotten cabbage smell of hydrogen and ozone from refilling and sterilizing. His 16 years old daughter stands behind him, fiddling with the copper extensions of her braids as she impatiently waits in line to exit the Boreali hydrojet.

The Devil's Playground. Finalist in 2023 Vocal Writing Awards - Science Fiction. Top Story - October 2023.
This machine is the perfect confessor. It need not forgive for it cannot be wronged. It does not confuse its thoughts with God’s. From behind this thickly folded curtain, ceremonial red, the absolution it offers is real, because its intention is pure: Listen. Understand. Counsel.

Bitterblue
The space station hung in the quiet, empty corner of the sector between the M’toh Republic and the Amn Democracy. It was not a pretty station, nor one that won any practical design awards. The station, more properly referred to as Graygante Station, had a bulbous kind of upper portion that made up the majority of the station’s residential districts, business offices, and the observation deck. The blobby portion was cut off neatly by a weird, flat cylinder that had most of the station’s shops and restaurants, underneath which had all of the factories and repair shops in a dozen or so odd cuboids of various widths and lengths that terminated in long, spindly antenna-looking docks. Graygante had once been described by a passing philosophy student as a “jellyfish wearing a corset,” which made the local tourism agency furious, until one of their more apathetic members pointed out that it was a correct observation.
