Deceptions of Tomorrow: Electrifying Tales of Science Fiction: Robots, Black Holes & Time Travel Kindle Edition

by Kumar L (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 34 ratings
Eleven electrifying tales of science fiction!

Human rights for robots! Time travel chaos! Black holes at the centre of our galaxy! These stories will entertain you, opening your mind to the possibilities of science and the future.
As Artificial Intelligence evolve with time, will we face a robot revolution? If it becomes possible to travel through time, what will be the result? Will we be able to change the past? And, of course, black holes – those barely understood, never seen, immensely powerful entities – can we harness their power for good or evil?
Understand Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics, and read stories about the impact of these laws on the society of the future.
These laws aim to protect humans from robots. But what about the rights of the robots and other ‘Artificial Intelligence’ which humans will create in the future? Do they deserve, and should they be eligible for the same rights as humans?
Read on and find out!

    Loved this short story collection! The stories themselves are quite short so they were perfect when I had a little bit of time to pass, and the variety of subject matter while staying with the Science Fiction realm was quite entertaining. The stories had just a tad of a sardonic feel to them, like a mix between Dimension 401 and The Twilight Zone. They were creative and thought-provoking. The author definitely has a creative mind and also really encourages the writer to think about how the choices we are making now may effect the future in unexpected ways.

    These science fiction short stories are a pleasure to read. Most are very short, a perfect read when you only have a few minutes. Their subject matter runs the gamut from robots to time travel to black holes. My personal favorites were the ones that raised the question of when does a robot become “human” in the legal and emotional sense of the word. Some of those that I really liked are “Iron Heart,” “Alexia’s Revenge,” and “First Born.”

    Some stories in this collection also reflect what is going on today. “Invaders” is about two competing groups of aliens fighting to take over Earth, and when I read what some of the humans say at the end, I couldn’t help but compare it to places like Syria. “Enigma” deals with privacy concerns in a really disconcerting way.

    All in all, if you enjoy science fiction and short stories, give this one a try.

    A short book, less than 100 pages, but packed with good writing and fantastical imagination. Packed full of technological advancements in a timely manner not disrelated to the current advances in technology, this savvy author spins a great little story. It’s a most enjoyable collection of short, fast-reads, sci fi story. Perfect for a coffee break, a train ride, a respite from a busy day, or just a sit down to drift off into some engaging storytelling.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2019

    Deceptions of Tomorrow is a very enjoyable and fast paced read. It's an anthology of science fiction short stories, lending itself well for those weeks when you're spread too thin and only have snippets of time available for reading. There are several futuristic robotic tales here that are reminiscent of Asimov. These stories utilize that master's robotic laws while shedding light on the "what if" scenarios the laws didn't plan for. I enjoyed these stories, but to be honest, it was the last two stories that brought it home for me and pulled the rating up to 5 stars. "Enigma" and "End of Time" were especially well done and were my personal favorites. If you like classic Sci-Fi stories, give Deceptions of Time a read. I think you'll enjoy it.

Perfectly sized for a quick read between chores or during daily commute “Deception” really brings the best out of the author. After all, it requires a lot of craft to write a succinct story which is enjoyable and informative. A job really very well done! Cannot wait to lay my hands on the next one to come from this very imaginative and creative author.

    - This book is a collection of 11 short stories which deals with robots, aliens, black holes & time travel.
    - The author has tried his best to examine the future possibilities & he brought technology alive in each & every story. - Each story is filled with adventure, thrill, drama & a positive outlook at what the future may hold for humanity.
    - These stories will entertain you & open your mind to the possibilities of science & the future.
    - These stories are unique, refreshing, intelligent, funny & emotional in its own way.
    - My favorites amongst them is 'Grandfather's Paradox', 'First Born' & 'End of Time' 💕
    - One of the story 'To Steal a Star' is repeated in this book. I mean it was present in author's previous book too but it wasn't boring to reread it. - There were some places where my intellect just gave up bcoz of the technical terms & scenarios were going out of my mind.
    - But if you're a tech enthusiast & a sci-fi lover then you're gonna love these stories.

    Deceptions of Tomorrow: Electrifying Tales of Science Fiction: Robots, Black Holes & Time Travel by Kumar L is collection of 11 short stories.

    Reading back to back books of Kumar L has made me a fan of science fictions.

    Grandfather's paradox is shortest of all the 11 stories and is also my favourite.
    Other stories also have various aspects of future science such as robots and black holes and galaxies.
    The book also talks about the rights of robots and artifical intelligence through its stories.

    Overall these stories are humorous and knowledgeable and also interesting to read.

    Narration is quite gripping with language being simple and easy to understand.
    The book is properly edited as well.

    Stories such as End of Time will make you re-think and also Alexia's Revenge where a robot is under the scanner of law and rights.

    Author has created these gem of 11 stories which should be read definitely, and I am just loving this genre of science fiction because of Kumar L.

    Deceptions of Tomorrow : Electrifying Tales of Science Fiction by L. Kumar, is a wonderful collection consisting of eleven stories. The stories mainly covers Black Holes, Robots, Artificial Intelligence and so on. From the narration of each story the author seem quite knowledgeable. He tells us how amazing is the world of science. My top favourites among the eleven are Alexia's Revenge, End of Time and To Steal A Star. Moreover, the book is only of 58 pages you needn't sit for hours to complete it. Thus, a little time for a gripping read is worth investing, in my opinion.

    Deceptions of tomorrow:

    I became Mr. Kumar's fan since I read his book Earth to Centuari :Alien Hunt.
    .
    This book contains 11 short stories -
    Iron Heart, To Steal A star, Grandfather's Paradox, Twist.Break.Throw, The Exchange, Alexia's Revenge, The Tourists, First Born, Invaders, Enigma & End of Time.
    ...
    Each story gives a new insight into the amazing world of science fiction. The author has a unique way of storytelling. His comprehensive knowledge of Space Science is commendable. I loved "To Steal A Star" and "End of Time" the most. It took me a little over two hours to finish all the stories.
    ...
    It's a complete value for money book. I bought it as soon as it was published. You can read and re-read this book numerous times.
