Does Earth’s archaic copyright law discriminate against artificial intelligence?

In a new spin-off from the 40 book EarthCent saga, humanity’s intelligence service tries to develop a covert branch by hiring agents unknown to the aliens, but keeping secrets from species with millions of years of surveillance experience is a challenge. Their first covert agent goes undercover as a bicycle messenger in an alien empire, but can he learn anything worth reporting? The Galactic Free Press is publishing its first book for the non-Human market, and Bethany, the daughter of the paper’s managing editor is interning on the project. But she quickly learns that the alien ambassadors supplying the content don’t take editorial direction. Jonah, the son of the director of EarthCent Intelligence and the co-founder of InstaSItter finds himself being pushed toward public service, though he’ll have to balance the demands of family and his cooking show with a new career path.

Intellectual Property, the first book of the new EarthCent Families spin-off, shines the light on people, both natural and artificial, who have long played secondary roles in the EarthCent saga. The best starting point for new readers is the five-book Union Station Omnibus, Books 1 – 5.
