Twisted Metal by Tony BallantyneTwisted Metal by Tony Ballantyne

I’ve never read anything like this before. Ballantyne has created a world where robots evolved, at least that’s what most of them believe, some of them believe in the Book of Robots and that they were created.

Producing parallels to a number of human issues and societies this book non the less never loses its sense of otherness. The robots consider themselves people, they give birth through twisting metal minds and fitting them into tiny bodies. As the minds gain greater lifeforce they can build themselves bigger bodies, giving rise to children, then eventually adults.
