Hey, /lit/. I'm in a bit of a sci-fi mood lately. Specifically stories about Artificial Intelligence. I've read 2001, 2010, Blade Runner and almost every Isaac Asimov book there is (aside from Foundation).

I've played the "Alien: Isolation" game recently and the whole uncanny feeling portrayed by its characters, scenery and technology really interested me. Specially the "Working Joe" androids.

So, what I'm looking for now is a story about AI with a darker mood than Asimov's general writings. Perhaps a mood similar to Alien, the movie (novelization) and the game.

Solaris by Stanislaw Lem

Roderick At Random

Thanks, anon.

Solaris isn't really about AI, but it's still outstanding.

For OP request I recommend Destination: Void by frank Herbert.

Destination: Void! Yes. But make sure it is the first edition by that title:

1965- Do I Wake Or Dream (first draft, published in magazine)
1966-Destination: Void (perfect with a phenomenal ending)
1978- Destination: Void (Retro-actively edited to tie into sequels, the changes were not so good. Read the '66 version first)
1979- The Jesus Incident (sequel with great premise but weak third act)
1983- The Lazarus Effect (third sequel with another great premise but confusing at times)
1988- The Ascension Factor (garbage posthumous sequel)

I think Herbert's 1966 Destination: Void is fantastic and superior to the AI in 2001:A Space Odyssey, but give it a try. It is very suspenseful.
