Imagine a future, only 25 years from now, where robots and automation have taken most jobs, robot armies battle for supremacy, Mars is being terraformed for an unknown purpose, and super-intelligent computers tremble on the threshold of independent action. Meet Denver Smith, a 26 year old graduate student, and his partner, Sandra Lightning, a computer-human hybrid, as their investigation into the violent death of his thesis advisor leads to the discovery of a huge conspiracy and a war between robot armies.
An interesting plot with some considerations about human vs computers (ASI) interactions. I like the epilogue opening the chance for humans to travel to Mars
