Moonbeams and Microchips: A Love Story Set in a World Spellbound by AI

By Don Johnston

Liam Marlowe, a video game developer, never expected to go to the Moon.

But when NASA discovers a pod-like device with a dead computer near Moonbase-1, they attempt to enlist him because of his unique digital acuity. He declines initially, but they lure him with an irresistible offer-an internship at Moonbase-1 for his girlfriend, Mikala Kelley, an RN trained in space medicine.

Once on the Moon, Liam revives the computer and discovers that it is from the future. Upon activation, a video shows a shocking event: the President granting personhood to humanoid robots via an executive order based on Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.

Amid looming political problems, Moonbase-1 celebrates its first wedding, with participants on celestial bodies 239,000 miles apart.
