I first encountered this story in an anthology edited by the great Groff Conklin, Science Fiction Terror Tales. Peter Phillips's story is narrated by an AI machine, apparently on a planet occupied only by AI. It witnesses the crash of, as it thinks, another machine. The story is almost plotless, but the implications of the narration become more terrifying as it unfolds. That's all I'll say. It's the only story by Peter Phillips with which I'm familiar, but I'll read anything I can find under his name, merely on the strength of this one story.

Interesting concept. I find it pretty relevant because I can actually imagine this happening sometime in the not so distant future.
