About the Book

The first instalment in the Corporation Wars trilogy, space opera giving a robot’s-eye view of a robot revolt, from Arthur C. Clarke award nominated science fiction author Ken MacLeod

They’ve died for the companies more times than they can remember. Now they must fight to live for themselves.

Sentient machines work, fight and die in interstellar exploration for the benefit of their owners – the competing mining corporations of Earth. But sent over hundreds of light-years, commands are late to arrive and often hard to enforce. The machines must make their own decisions, and make them stick.

With this newfound autonomy come new questions about their masters. The robots want answers. The companies would rather see them dead.
