The Age of Abstract Machines

An architect loses his job to a machine with a superiority complex. Two explorers arrive at a terraformed world only to find it covered in living diamonds. A librarian must outwit an automated library driven to perfect itself. In this era of automated imagination, circuits think and machines dream of alternate realities. From the domes of Mars to the inside of a computer, these are strange days indeed. Note: This is a collection of short stories.
