Book description
Wonderful, overblown, dated doomsday story. The flap says Jones was a commander in the British Navy throughout WW II and worked as a radio operator, bricklayer and gardener. And it shows. Judging by the book, hed never heard an American speak, and it hurts to read ostensibly American characters referring to the Secret Service as you lot. The best lines are reserved for Colossus. We can coexist, but only on my terms. And (when Forbin points out its late in the day): Day and night are one to us; man can work in shifts.I love these retro-future books that imagine sentient computers with which we communicate over teletype, and that imagine air-car taxis but not cell phones.And, a little like Stranger in a Strange Land (the most glaring example I can think of), theres a charming, off-handed sexism. As Colossus becomes sentient, and starts exploring the world it will eventually rule, Charles Forbin (Colossus creator, and eventual slave) and his assistant (and love object) Cleo Markham (sorry.....DOCTOR Cleo Markham) are trying to figure out what Colossus is up to, in particular what thoughts have led it to particular actions.Markham suggests that the idea of Colossus seeking intelligence seems unlikely to her. If it is true, then Colossus has a most tortuous mind.No, not tortuous, Forbin replies, but complex, possibly devious, almost feminine. Indeed. (Cleo accepts this without comment, so even she realized the comparison is fair.)As in the movie, there are dual payoffs: After being given a voice (of its own design), Colossus and Forbin discuss the full extent of Colossus control and goals. Forbins slow realization that they are the natural consequence of Colossus being programmed (by Forbin and his team) to protect humans is fairly well doneAnd Colossus prepared statement to the world, making his case to several billion obsolete humans that theyre better off with him as their god than any of the gods theyve conjured up over their history is spectacular. In the movie, Colossus recites it himself. The Colossus of the book seems to want to use one last shred of human credibility to deliver his message, and he writes a statement to be delivered by the shambling, powerless heads of state:I am the voice of world control, it famously begins. I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content, or the peace of unburied death. The choice is yours.
