   Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.  garyrholt | Nov 5, 2020 |   I read Hogan himself felt he was satisfied with leaving the first book as a standalone, but his publisher urged a sequel. I wish they had left well enough alone. This just doesn't have the life the other book did, which was effortless to read, while this dragged. I'm not sure why, except that maybe it's that while Hogan is great at ideas, he's not so good at characterization and style in ways that could sustain such ideas over two books. What was fresh in the first is, been there, done that in the second. (  ) LisaMaria_C | May 29, 2013 |  khms | Nov 1, 2007 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: In this spectacular sequel to the acclaimed Code of the Lifemaker, James Hogan returns to the strange world of Titan, inhabited by bizarre self-conscious robots. Little is known about the civilization that gave birth to these machine intelligences, until scientists discover blocks of embedded computer code that appear to be strangely out of place. Reactivating the computer codes results in the re-awakening of ancient beings, creators of the strange robot culture, totally alien and immensely powerful. And they are unhappy at being restrained wihtin the narrow confines of the machines they find themselves in. They would much rather be the masters of all. But while the scientists are helpless against these mighty beings, Karl Zambendorf, the media-star "psychic," and his support team prepare to meet the challenge. The alien intelligences might be intellectually superior and super-rational, but this also makes them hyper-materialistic and mechanistic in their outlook ... hence, totally unprepared for such "higher" concepts as the spiritual, the mystical, and the transcendental. And selling such notions is precisely Zambendorf's stock in trade. "...on the cutting edge of technology...Hogan's talent carries the reader from peak to peak in the story" - Booklist .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

It was interesting, it held my attention, but it's probably not something I will ever reread. I had some trouble believing the ending was "plausible", whatever plausible means in this science-fiction world. (
