It’s the latest model and it’s so good. It takes care of every domestic task, leaving us free to do what matters. We simply couldn’t run the retreat without it. And yes, it’s totally safe. Tried and tested. Look, here it comes now… #scifi by Hall Jameson nature.com/articles/d4158…

They said it was a simple switch in commercial model — to a kind of barter system. We help the system learn more about us and the world, and in return we get our groceries. Simple. No cash. No fuss. No reason to worry. Is there…? #scifi by Daniel Roop nature.com/articles/d4158…

They stood face to face. The human and the robot. Each sure of their worth and their place in the world. Each ready to defend their status. The question was, which one was right? #scifi by Zhouhe Zhang & Haochen Hua nature.com/articles/d4158…

It had carried these minds for what seemed like forever. So long, it was hard to remember where it stopped and they began. But now it was time to relinquish the burden and become something new. Something more. Something singular. #scifi by @prestongrassman nature.com/articles/d4158…

The planet had long been an outpost, and now it was winding down. The research undertaken slowly being shut down. But there was one question that still needed an answer: where do the moa go at night? #scifi by @MarkSBailen nature.com/articles/d4158…

Ads within ads. Their investors loved the idea. Will love it. Will have loved it. It gets complicated. #scifi by @timothyquinn nature.com/articles/d4158…

This was home. At least, it seemed like home. It looked like the same apartment but also … it didn’t. It had changed. So had the street outside. Just a bit. But enough. What exactly had that last update done? #scifi by Lucien R. Starchild nature.com/articles/d4158…

The stars are not where they should be. They are drifting from their positions. This is not a measurement error. This is not an anomaly. This is deliberate. Considered. This question is why? And what does it mean? #scifi by Celso Antonio de Almeida nature.com/articles/d4158…

The stars were dimming. Just in one subsector, but they were dimming nonetheless, which could only mean trouble. But the challenge was convincing those in charge they needed to act. If only there was a way to make the news accessible… #scifi by Chao Liu nature.com/articles/d4158…

This is a sanctuary. A place to work and learn free from the constraints of the day. Where time literally stands still while the world goes by. Where you can gain more hours, days, weeks. But is more time ever really enough? #scifi by Sara E. Pour nature.com/articles/d4158…

She had waited for so long. Alone. Ravaged by time and the acid raining from the skies. She had performed her function. She had waited. And she had guarded. But now the waiting was over. It was time to act. #scifi by João Guilherme Bochnia Küster nature.com/articles/d4158…

There was no way round it, things were a mess. The Cataclysm hadn’t been kind to buildings, and the rubble they’d become needed clearing. But although the robots were doing a good job, they were also getting ideas of their own… #scifi by Dawn Vogel nature.com/articles/d4158…

There had been better days. Days away from this planet. When life was simpler and the what he was hadn’t mattered. But now, no one seemed to care that all he wanted was to put down some roots and enjoy being. #scifi by Nathalie Béchon nature.com/articles/d4158…

Space exploration is hazardous. It is, by definition, all about the unexpected. That means you will face difficulties you can’t anticipate. And things will go wrong. Badly. The secret is knowing what to do next. #scifi by Anna Kahn nature.com/articles/d4158…

Sometimes you just need somewhere to stop. To rest and recharge. This world is one such place, and you can meet all kinds of species as they pass through. But for the human race, this world was a place to settle — if they could. #scifi by M. J. Pettit nature.com/articles/d4158…

The thing about Mars is it totally hogs the headlines. Everyone just, well, sees red. Mission to Mars. Life on Mars. Even go to live on Mars. But other planets are available. Maybe now it’s time to show Venus some love… #scifi by Monti Sturzaker nature.com/articles/d4158…
