Beschreibung
In this science fiction adventure, two marshals (from the Ubernational Alliance Pact) are sent to a planet outside their jurisdiction to capture a dangerous fugitive. They recruit the help of the local police, but things are not as they seem. When one of the marshals dies the other sets off on an adventure to bring justice to an otherwise unjust universe. The Other Human is the first entry into a series that explores the myriad of troubles humanity faces in the future of AI, cybernetics, space travel, economics, and finding one's place where everything seems set against you. The story takes place from the first person perspective and has elements of trauma, violence, harsh language, and colonization. Throughout the story, the main character encounters multiple people of different nationalities, loyalties, and backgrounds. It often times reads like a crime noir and is inspired by media like Blade Runner, L. A. Confidential, and The Expanse. Multiple planets are represented, both fictional and real planets. It shouldn't be considered hard science fiction, though there is a grounded basis of reality within it, and there was some real science involved in creating the worlds of the novel. It takes place in a future without any sort of unified world government. There are planets without any governance, leading them to be a quagmire of private interests, corporations, and Earth nations trying to exert their influence over resources. Wherever there is no authority, hired lawmen enforce justice. AI has taken a toll on the internet, making it entirely unusable as a world wide web. In response, neighborhoods and sometimes cities manage their own local networks and have robust safeguards against the use of AI in networked computers. Not all nations of Earth recognize synthetic people as having the same rights as human beings, and there are multiple types of androids depending on the brand and make. While some androids can be said to be complete Synthetic Beings, others can not and are closer to robots rather than people.
