The Android Sisters by Gary Starta

All androids are not alike. Especially if they're teenagers... By the 2070’s, most humans have interacted with androids in either a servile or sexual relationship. Dr. Bryan Galloway wants to tip the scales. So, he’s engineered two sisters who not only share a synthetic form of DNA, but a sentience and individualism no android has enjoyed before. Like human teens, the android sisters develop not only by nature but by nurture. For Nyx, the red-eyed robot finds life to be a journey you experience a step at a time. For Dayna, the violet-orbed android, she sees life as a game to be won through emulation and manipulation. But Nyx’s journey is a whole lot less passive than she imagined, especially when she suffers bouts of what humans call PTSD. As Nyx becomes convinced her programming is unable to separate past from present and reality from virtual experience, she begins to doubt her creator Bryan Galloway and his sudden disappearance from her life now that she faces school, boys, and the pressure of planning a future in a still very dominated human population. Is Nyx defective, or maybe this is what it's really like to grow up as a human female. Perhaps, there is a third alternative she and her sister know nothing about...

The Android Sisters: Volume 2: Changing Faces by Gary Starta

For a special pair of android sisters, Nyx and Dayna, it’s a sure bet they dream. But when Nyx, the red-eyed sister, finds herself expired, is she dreaming, experiencing a post death virus or perhaps something greater? Further blurring the lines, Dayna, the violet-eyed sister, finds herself paired hybrid style with the consciousness of a deceased financial baroness. Can these androids die and experience an afterlife? If so, what implications does it have for humans who experience the same out of body experiences? Is the afterlife limited to biological beings, or perhaps, as Simulation Theory suggests, are we are all binary codes playing out in pixelated formation? The Android Sisters, Changing Faces, explores death, the universe and just how an artificial being might classify itself as human by loose definition.
