Wing Man

By Ed Wise

The Earth 2075 series presents life and its challenges as they will likely be in that period. All books are novellas and a third to half the length of a typical novel. They're intended for busy folks who will enjoy the action of a full novel compressed and easily finished in a few hours. The stories carry common themes but are independent with different characters and can be read in any order. Controversial subjects such as the environment, pro-life/pro-choice, the widening gap between income, LGBTQ, slavery, and animal rights are projected into the future. There is no time travel or laser pistols, just real-life situations and genuine people living with advanced technology.Wing Man is Book 4 of the Earth 2075 series. It addresses life optimization, slavery, and animal rights. Droids are required to protect human life at all cost. But what do they do when faced with a choice between saving one human over another, and in far more complex situations than saving one of two from drowning? What if one human costs the life of thousands by his repetitive and irresponsible actions? Is it life optimization to terminate him, or simply murder? And what value should be placed on animals, specifically endangered ones? Androids have been created to serve humans. What happens when they evolve into equals of humans? Should they be "freed" or are they just machines to be used as tools? Riff is given to Johnah as a personal assistant. Riff's recent AI upgrade makes him humanlike and the two form a friendship that evolves well beyond master/servant. Kate has been denied opportunities in life by her financial status and holds a grudge against those more fortunate. Can they work together to save tens of thousands from a horrible death?
