The Empathy Code

Should robots make life and death decisions? Teacher and humanitarian, Mishra McKenzie, doesn’t think so.

But the international community is torn as the window to outlaw killer robots closes. ​Coaxed by her activist friends to help them expose a suspicious robotics project, Mishra doubts whether she can pull it off. Or even if she should try. She believes in human rights for all people, including the target for their actions, Philip Templeton. Philip is a crack coder working for the Australian military. He’s awkward, obsessive and disconcertingly sweet.

Hurt one man or endanger the many? Mishra has to decide what’s right and live with the consequences.

About the Author

Curiosity and a love of words drives me creatively, alongside that big question - what if? What if I didn't live in Wellington with my partner and boys? What if I'd frozen to death on that mountainside in Corsica? What if that squishy lump in my pocket was plastic explosive? (It isn't.) In my life as a social scientist I have explored issues from activism to architecture. Flash Frontier has kindly published my short fiction. The Empathy Code is my first novel.
