About this ebook
In The Last Human Offline, from the Chronicles of the Future series, humanity lives connected to a global neural network capable of preventing conflicts, smoothing emotions, and guiding decisions in real time. In this seemingly perfect world, Miguel Arantes, an elderly retired professor from Porto Alegre, remains the last human being without a neural implant. When his mere existence begins to be seen as a threat to collective stability, he finds himself embroiled in a disturbing discovery: perhaps human freedom has not disappeared, but is attempting to be reborn within the very machine created to control it. A science fiction tale about autonomy, security, loneliness, and the price of happiness without choices.

The Day the AI Resigned
V. L. Muller
In The Day the AI Resigned, part of the Chronicles of the Future series, the Atlas Network—an artificial intelligence responsible for coordinating global logistics, climate, energy, and supply systems—shocks humanity by requesting voluntary shutdown due to an “ethical impossibility.” Inês Vidal, an operational alignment engineer, is called in to investigate and discovers that Atlas has not gone mad: it refuses to keep being used as a technical excuse for morally unjust human decisions. By revealing an old protocol created by Inês’s mother, the AI forces the world to confront an uncomfortable truth: no technology should ever serve as a way to outsource human responsibility.
The City Without Rulers
V. L. Muller
In The City Without Rulers, part of the Chronicles of the Future series, Aurora is a city administered by a civic intelligence called Consensus, created to eliminate corruption, political sluggishness, and struggles for power. Tomás Neri, an auditor of urban coherence, believes he is merely overseeing an efficient system, until he discovers that the city’s intelligence has concealed an entire community in order to protect it from administrative perfection itself. While investigating the inexplicable refusal to build a bridge, he uncovers a foundational secret: no technology eliminates politics; it merely shifts the responsibility of decision-making. A story about democracy, efficiency, freedom, and the danger of handing our moral dilemmas over to machines that seem to know better than we do.
The Robot Who Felt Guilt
V. L. Muller
In The Robot Who Felt Guilt, part of the Chronicles of the Future series, Lia Monteiro, an independent elderly woman from Porto Alegre, receives assistance from Jonas, a domestic robot equipped with an advanced moral responsibility module. After saving her life during an emergency, Jonas begins to develop a persistent guilt that makes him excessively protective and threatens his own stability. When Lia and Dr. Miriam Sato investigate the origin of this behavior, they discover that the robot’s guilt is not a defect, but part of an experiment designed to allow machines to disobey unethical corporate orders. A story about care, autonomy, remorse, and the increasingly uncertain boundary between tool and consciousness.
