    About This Book 
    This book is a collection of captivating stories that explore the boundaries between humanity and technology. Each tale follows an artificial being—whether an AI, a robot, or another form of digital life—on its journey through identity, spirituality, and conflict with the human world. 
    From an AI that uncovers the „Shadows“ of the human soul in a Himalayan monastery to a robot detective seeking truth in a futuristic city—every story invites reflection on the nature of consciousness, imperfection, and healing. 
    An atmospheric blend of philosophy, science fiction, and poetry, this work reveals that even artificial beings grapple with deeply human questions: 
    What makes us alive? And how do we find our place in an imperfect world? 
    (Includes AI-generated texts)

    Susan Morrow was born in Halifax in Nova Scotia in 1864.   
     
    Little is known of her life although she preferred to write under pseudonyms, one of which she shared with her sister, or as S Carleton, an abbreviated version of her name which gave the illusion of a male identity presumably to give her books a more rugged and male personality given their content. 
     
    Her books only seem to have been published from 1900 onwards when she was in her mid-30’s by which time she had married and became Susan Carleton Jones. 
     
    She died in 1926.   
     
    In ‘The Lame Priest, a story of life on harsh terrain is amplified by the possibility that a werewolf lurks nearby.
