Shadow Of The Scorpion by Neal Asher, reviewed by Len Newland.
What makes AI robot stories interesting is the question of how close to human those robots need to be and what problems might arise therefrom. The scorpion of this title, named Amistad, is a large arthropoid robot of a class of heavil ...
