Ask HN: Novels about or featuring malevolent AI?
I am looking to read some good hard SF about malevolent AI. Any suggestions?
- slater 14y agoNot sure about hard SF, but Prey by Michael Crichton? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prey_(novel) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prey_(novel)
- googoobaby 14y agoMalevolence is in the eye of the beholder, of course, but try Adolescence of P-1, True Names (novella) and A Fire Upon the Deep.
- jmorton 14y agoBungie's Marathon trilogy, although not a novel, explored the inevitable digression of AI into rampancy. The terminal transcripts can still be found over here: http://marathon.bungie.org/story/contents.html http://marathon.bungie.org/story/contents.html
