Sentenced: Shiri’s 5-18-14 Edition
River of Gods, page 385, paragraph 11, sentences 1&2 (PYR 2006 hardcover edition)
“Brahma is not designed, no more than you, Mr. Ray. It evolved.”
Brahma is — in this case — an illegal “Generation Three” aeai (say it slowly, out loud; took me a minute too) who has evolved beyond its human creators. Organically. Naturally. Teriffyingly.
If only Asimov could have come at it from this angle, Caves of Steel might have been glorious. Alas, Papa Iaac missed the boat. We are all lukcy that Ian McDonald made sure to check the schedule.
