You should read "The Eden Cycle" by Gallun, (Available from Amazon for US$0.01 plus shipping) which describes this in detail. While the book isn't well written, the story is FANTASTIC and everyone I know who has read it says that it is the best SciFi that they have ever read. WARNING, the first few pages are incredibly boring and some people think that they stumbled into the wrong book. Later, you will learn why it was necessary to do this to you. This and the complete Colossus trilogy top my list of *useful AGI fiction*. Does anyone else here know of other good books that also belong on this list?
