Autonomous by Annalee Newitz
In a future where biotech has advanced to create patented drugs with the power to extend life, a pirate with a submarine traverses the seas, distributing cheap generic versions of these medications to those who can't afford them. Meanwhile, a military agent and his robot sidekick are on a relentless pursuit to stop her, enforcing the intellectual property laws of powerful pharmaceutical companies. As the chase intensifies, the boundaries between human and machine blur, raising profound questions about autonomy, individual rights, and the ethics of scientific discovery.
