3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and annoying, 19 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Code of the Lifemaker (Mass Market Paperback)
The premise of this work is interesting enough: what would happen if there were a world where "life" was mechanical and biology was "technology"? Is it possible for mechincal "life" to evolve? Hogan posits such a world, and sets up to backstory in a short prologue. Then, he sets about bringing humans and his mechanical lifeforms into contact with one another, and explores how -- or whether -- they will be able to communicate -- and cooperate -- with one another.

The premise is interesting, and Hogan is an accomplished story-teller, as can be seen in another of his works, *The Two Faces of Tomorrow.* However, this story is marred by a central character -- a bogus psychic -- who stands for most of the book as a straw man to prove that *any* belief in the supernatural is based on fraud and/or ignorance. Hogan redeems his character after a fashion, but much of the book will bring great glee, if not enlightenment, to the militantly anti-religious camp within SF fandom.
