Books about robots and AI
Books with artificial minds: robots, ship intelligences and machines that begin to question what they are. Becky Chambers's A Psalm for the Wild-Built pairs a tea monk with a curious robot, her A Closed and Common Orbit follows an AI learning to live in a body, and Neal Shusterman's Thunderhead is narrated in part by the AI that runs the world. Gödel, Escher, Bach asks how minds arise at all.
