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 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.
