While no alien forms of life have yet been encountered in this expansion into space, colonists suddenly encounter machines of alien origin - huge robots able to reproduce themselves. Called replicators by the colonists, they seem to have but a single goal: to destroy all organic life they come in contact with..Since the colonial governments have no means to fight this menace directly, they instead promise huge rewards to whoever destroys a replicator. As a result, the frontier attracts a new kind of adventurers, the Hunters, who work to find and destroy the replicators. Mike Edwards, a skilled young maintenance technician and robotics expert at a faraway outpost, will not only become one of them - but be the very first one to unlock the secret behind the replicators’ origin and mission. . .The scientific and technical aspects underlying the plot - in particular space travel, robotics and self-replicating spacecraft - are introduced and discussed by the author in an extensive non-technical appendix.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2014 | | 关键词 | Killer Robots in Space; Robot Consciousness; Robotic Artificial Intelligence; Science and Fiction Sprin | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-02060-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-02059-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-02060-0Series ISSN 2197-1188 Series E-ISSN 2197-1196 | | issn_series | 2197-1188 | | copyright | Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014 |
