The novel "Machinehood" - which belongs to this year s Nebula Awards Nominees - by S.B. Divya is set around the year 2090 ( amazon). Most jobs are done by AIs and other machines and humans take advanced drugs and get micro-machines (pills) implanted to be able to compete with the superior machines. The plot follows two sisters, one in India s Chenai, the other in Phoenix, USA. They - and the rest of the world - have to deal with massive attacks by a terror group, called "Machinehood", who is fighting for the rights of AIs and other machines (this is a spoiler free blog). The complex plot has interesting & plausible ideas about the future labor market, how corporations & social networks might have developed and how humans and robots could cooperate & compete.
