Synopsis

The God Machine is a superbrain, a cybernetic computer triumph which can do everything except lie or fabricate (guess it couldn't make up a story like this, altho there are leaden stretches when it seems it could have). Anyway Steven Rand is chosen to program it only to find that this Frankenstein is ready to take over its own programming & programmers & kill them. "INSPECTION RANDOM...PATTERN CHECK MECHANICAL PLUS ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS PLUS SUBSYSTEMS" etc. Check, Mechanical, & the only audience we could extrapolate is somewhere between Argosy & Scientific American.--Kirkus (edited)
