La Fondation XPRIZE vient de publier une nouvelle anthologie disponible sur Internet, après Seat 14C et Current Features: A Sci-fi Ocean Anthology,
Intitulée Avatars Inc, elle repose sur le scénario suivant (présenté sous forme d'animation sur le site) :
"While on a mission to Mars in the year 2080, a young astronaut approaches a decommissioned robotic avatar unit, partially buried in the Martian dust.
She pops open the cranial casing to find its central processing chip, still intact. She holds the chip up to her visual display unit to reveal its contents. Within moments, she is flooded with what seem to be “memories” from the life of the avatar.
This is Avatar Inc’s 24th successful mission, as part of an overall campaign to physically retrieve, preserve and archive the memory cards from their most valuable robotic avatar units.
They searched the world, and deep into the solar system, to acquire the chips that contain avatar memories spanning the 21st century.
These are those memories."
Au sommaire, 24 auteurs, parmi lesquels : Ken Liu, Aliette de Bodard, Robert Reed, Paul McAuley, James S. A. Corey, Sarah Pinsker, Tom Sweterlitsch, Adrian Tchaikosky, Tade Thompson, Madeline Ashby.
