Imagine a world that evolves from high functioning machines,
information is lost, but the machines adapt survive and evolve.

Imagine Man discovering this world, from there the excitement begins,
as two radically different races and and cultures begin to interact.

A Very good Sci-fi Premise,
I highly recommend this book to those who love classic Sci-fi.

Mr. Hogan has outdone himself with this one !
It is engrossing and funny all at once, and creates an entire civilization
of living machines with everything topsy turvy of our civilization - while
at the very same moment he makes a comprehensive parody of ALL, truly all
our established institutions and dogmas.
This book is truly smart scifi with a wonderful sense of humor, a must-read.

When I was much younger I devoured many of James Hogan's sci-fi novels. I somehow missed this one. So glad to to have finally read it. In this novel, written in the early 80s, he develops an interesting concept about machines becoming sapient beings. Especially as today's society is wondering if that might finally happen.
