The Immortality Option
Hogan, James P
Titan, Saturn's largest moon, was frozen and lifeless...but only by some definitions!
Organic
life had never evolved on its barren surface, but somehow Titan had
become home to the Taloids, a race of self-aware robots who lived in
competing city-states, grew houses and tools, tended their robotic
herds, and worshipped a god called the Lifemaker.
When humans
discovered the Taloids on Titan, they suspected that the robots'
sentience had evolved by accident--artificial intelligence gone wrong.
But where was the ancient civilization that had spawned them? With no
help from the Taloids--who seemed to know nothing of their own
origins--Earth's finest scientists were stumped.
Then strange blocks
of code were discovered in Titan's ancient computer banks. Neither
Taloid digital DNA nor the operating system for Titan's robotic
"ecology," the code had clearly lain undisturbed for eons. But now, with
human help, it was beginning to activate at last...
