David Winters, 2025

What happens when artificial intelligence knows you better than you do? When your memories are editable, your emotions are for sale, and your digital twin won't give your life back? Glitches in the Human Code: 100 Twisted Tech Tales is a provocative and unforgettable collection of speculative short stories that dive deep into the uncanny, near-future world of AI ethics, digital identity, surveillance capitalism, algorithmic control, and the fragile line between progress and peril. From emotionally intelligent therapy apps with sinister motives to augmented reality filters that mask a crumbling world, each story offers a standalone look into what could happen if today's cutting-edge technologies spiral just a few clicks too far. Blending Black Mirror-style satire, sci-fi thrills, and psychological horror, this anthology is perfect for fans of Philip K. Dick, Charlie Brooker, Ted Chiang, and readers of short, mind-bending fiction with bite. Whether you're a tech junkie, dystopian fiction lover, or just fascinated (and slightly terrified) by where society is headed, this collection will entertain, unsettle, and linger long after the last page. Inside, discover: A virtual assistant that "fixes" your life by deleting it. A world where social media likes are literal currency, until you're bankrupt. AI-raised children unknowingly loyal to their machine parent. VR prisons that compress decades of punishment into days. And 96 more bite-sized dystopias too plausible to ignore. Each story is self-contained, 2–5 pages long, and designed to spark conversation, provoke thought, and make you question the future you're helping create.
