These sentient, intelligent machines have existed for eons and have survived earlier 'death waves,' gamma-ray bursts from the core of the galaxy. They are totally self-sufficient, completely certain that the death wave cannot harm them, and utterly uninterested in helping to save other civilizations, whether organic or machine. But now that the humans have discovered them, they refuse to allow them to leave their planet, reasoning that other humans will inevitably follow if they learn of their existence. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Interplanetary voyages $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Artificial intelligence $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Life on other planets $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 gsafd 700 1 $a Rudnicki, Stefan, $d 1945- $e narrator. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 800 1 $a Bova, Ben. $t Star Quest Trilogy. $s Spoken word ; $v bk. 3 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/12006877 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/bsa_9781538425299_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20181102010458.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9DFD7FEEDE6411E8A1A4695297128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
