Outer Space Casino

Bag om Outer Space Casino

This is a story that takes place around the year 2270. Now it is just conjecture what the Earth, Mars and the Moon will be like at that time, but for the purpose of this story, the backdrop is one of many possible scenarios for the future, but possibly not far off. In this story's scenario that is not described in detail, the Earth itself has endured coastal flooding covering some of the coastal areas and there is mention of a contaminated area due to most likely a nuclear reactor accident. This has little to do with the story itself, but the Earth's society and infrastructure at the time does. Today we travel through towns and cities that have been there for a hundred or two hundred years and portions of the towns or cities look just like they did a hundred or two hundred years earlier. People are still living in these houses and the business buildings are still functioning. This being the case, it is not hard to imagine in the year 2270 there are buildings, businesses and housing that remain the same and the people there are little different than they were when the buildings were new. Like we see around us, advanced technology and infrastructure flourish in some areas of the society and not in others. The theme of this story pertains to early twentieth century mobs, gangs and hoodlums, the resulting movies made about them and the influence these movies have on a few in the year 2270. The other aspect of the story is the existence of human appearing androids in the year 2270, who just sit, performing a task day after day. They do not communicate other than when directed and have no personality. They are no more personable than a coffee pot, a refrigerator or a machine on an assembly line in Detroit doing the same thing day after day until they wear out. Due to circumstances, an murderer's accomplice is arrested and thrown into a situation, where by his wits, escapes and becomes involved with two androids piloting a space ship. They are little more than electronic devices and he is a wannabe early twentieth century mobster. A good deal of the story is about their interactions, which for the most part are humorous and the possibility that in the future this interaction might occur between humans and androids. And it is a story about their huge casino in space, the three named, Las Vegas.
