In this timely new anthology, 66 emerging and established voices from the science-fiction-poetry and war-writing communities have joined forces to deliver visions and explorations regarding how humans, Artificial Intelligence, and robots may learn to live, work, grow, and fight.

Every day, our news feeds are crowded with dystopian reports of flame-throwing robots, killer drones, and cyber implants, writes anthology editor Randy Brown. Against this virtual crush of ash and black, we wonder: If futurists and fiction-writers, warriors and wargamers can deploy their respective toolkits to probe potential threats and opportunities, why not poets?

The book collects 92 poems involving concepts, narratives, and cautionary tales of human-electro-mechanical-cyber interaction, connection, and competition. To motivate other writers, veterans, and readers, the anthology includes a special section of 7 discussion-starters and prompts, for use in writing workshops, book clubs, and other gatherings.
