A brilliant mind, embittered and trapped in a wasted body, she had the entire resources of the Corporation at her disposal to create not a monster, not some clanking robot, but the first true artificial intelligence on earth. Lovingly, obsessively, she was engineering a personality, self-aware and self-willed. She gave it/him a culture, a history. She taught him/it to experience, to live. Tokugawa she called him and imbued him with the Japanese bushido code of absolute loyalty. She had brought into being the first cybernetic samurai. But had she also created a monster?:- Review(s): "Like 'A Canticle For Leibowitz', this may be an SF book for people who generally do not read science fiction" - Publishers Weekly / "Takes on what bodes to be the quintessential sf theme of the mid 1980s" - The Washington Post / "A great book. Outstanding" - Glen Cook, author of the 'Dread Empire' series:- (original cost £2.95). N° de réf. du vendeur 11.003.00075
