I love it ... the horror of how they deal with their human slaves followed by their cannibalism that leads to their destruction 🤣

Thank you, Deirdre. I'm glad you liked Humanity's Enslavement. Horror isn't so horrible if that horror ends well. :)

As a clairvoyant once told me about the future, "I didn't see that coming" ;)

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait just a minute, Bill! What WERE these little vampire bug drones? Who made them? Why were they out to get the androids? This creeped me out. Chilling. So many questions.....

The zombie virus -- I don't think it was ever isolated or found.

I'm glad you enjoyed the story (and I'm glad it creeped you out ;-) )

Count Androidula to the rescue. I wonder if Human vampires and Android vampires will go to war. Could get messy. 🤣

Who knows what androids will be like if and when we build them. They might bite us, but hopefully, they'll bite each other. ;-)

They're like us and do things that don't seem rational.

I don't think so. It's likely that all intelligent beings aren't as smart as they think they are, humans, androids, and aliens, too.

Interesting question.

In Humanity's Enslavement, code gets broken, turns one android into a zombie and then spreads from android to android as they try to consume each other.

As for the androids enslaving humans, perhaps a human tried to code the androids with additional analytic abilities, but wrote bad instructions.

Who IS pulling the strings??

We need to wait 100 years, build the androids, and find out. ;-)
