This volume includes the classic Shakespeare play Hamlet uniquely adapted within the original blank verse. The effect is language that is more accessible and maintains the beauty of classical style poetry, bringing the traditional charm and grandeur of the Renaissance into the present. Also included is an episode from the Chinese classic novel Journey to the West. Published around the same time and with a plot that contains striking parallels to Hamlet, this Chinese fairytale adventure acts as a delightful key to unlocking the connections across generations and cultures. Enjoy!

Book Description
Something is rotten in the state of cybernetics. Elsinore Robotics is on the cusp of a breakthrough—the company is poised to create the first humanoid androids powered by true artificial intelligence. Their only rival, Norwegian Technologies, lost a publicly streamed contest between their flagship model, Fortinbras, and Elsinore’s HAM(let) v.1. But when the first Hamlet model is found irreparably deactivated, the apparent victim of wild malware, the field of consumer cybernetics is thrown wide open. However, Hamlet v.1’s memories were not entirely lost in the accident. Hamlet v.2 swears to avenge his progenitor, but is plagued by the aftereffects of integrating Old Hamlet’s backup into his own neural matrix. Beset by doubts about whether his feelings are truly his own, he worries his love for his boyfriend, Horatio, is an illusion, all the while driven by a consuming need for revenge. While he has a method, there is a madness in it, and Hamlet’s actions will leave no corner of Elsinore unscathed. A beat-by-beat retelling of the Shakespeare classic, Hamlet, Prince of Robots grapples with conscience, ambition, and pain, and what it means to be, or not to be, human.
