Symbiosis series by Samuel J.M. King (#0.5-1)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1 mb
Overview: Samuel King was born in Boston, Massachusetts, grew up on the “South Shore” and attended high school in historic Plymouth. Tired of school at the tender age of seventeen, he joined the Marine Corps and after basic training, spent the next eighteen months—you guessed it!—going to school. A stint at the Naval Communications Training Center in Pensacola, Florida was followed by nine months at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California studying Russian. He spent the remainder of his four-year enlistment in Japan.
After receiving an honorable discharge, he attended a computer programming school and spent a number of years in computer applications, first as a programmer and then as a systems analyst, designer and project leader. Later, he traded in his application’s hat for a more technical role, becoming a field software support specialist for Digital Equipment Corporation, the largest of the late, great mini-computer companies. After moving to New Hampshire, he studied Computer Engineering Technology at the New Hampshire Technical Institute and went on to design and program computerized industrial control systems for companies across New England.
Having written a prodigious amount of technical documentation, he began to write fiction in 2003. In addition to Symbiosis, he has written a screenplay, as well as several other novellas and short stories. He currently resides with his wife Donna in the heart of New Hampshire’s “Lakes Region” where he is working on the final novel of the Symbiosis series: East of the Sun and West of the Moon.

0.5. In Search of Pinocchio
The mid 22nd century… It is in many respects a world we would recognize. Like our own, it’s a world with instantaneous, worldwide communications, computers of ever increasing sophistication and permanent human occupancy of outer space. But it is also a very different world, a world in which a project started a century earlier by famed cyberneticist Irwin C. Jacobs, has solved the riddle of “artificial intelligence”. Determined to fulfill his lifelong dream of creating a cognitive entity, Jacobs forges ahead in 2047, daring to face the mockery of his colleagues, one of whom even accuses him of acting out Geppetto’s dream.
The Jacobs Project, the introduction to SYMBIOSIS, tells the story in a series of vignettes of those who came after him, bringing his dream to fruition and changing our world forever.
1. Tales of the Symbiont Safety Patrol
One hundred years after Dr. Irwin C. Jacobs began his quest to develop a truly cognitive neural array, "artificial sentients" are sold in retail stores. With the establishment of this new slavery comes a new abolitionist movement—a movement determined to end the creation of sentient beings for use as commodities. Emancipation groups spring up around the country.
While most of these groups limit their activities to public relations and political lobbying, others take a more direct approach. Breaking into the homes and businesses of abusive owners, these activists steal the neural arrays of endangered sentients, removing them from harm’s way. One such group carries out raids of such daring, news of their exploits is widely reported, and they quickly become the stuff of legend.
Tales of the Symbiont Safety Patrol is their story – a story of courage, sacrifice and the will to be free.
