All other rights are reserved, and copies must retain this notice. Please send additions and corrections to: * Clinton E. Sheppard * Garet Michael Jax This is a list of novels and stories which contain one or more Machine Intelligence (MI) characters. Most of the characters whose intelligence places a title on this list are effected or affected through the use of hardware, software or genetic alteration (rarely). Additions and corrections would be most appreciated as the list compiler has not read all of the works listed here - or even a significant portion, and will probably never have a chance to do so. The list uses the following MI definitions: * new/improved - information has changed since last edition A androids - humanoid MIs C computer systems - intelligent stationary computers or networks H humans in computerized/program/digitized form O other intelligences - intelligent tanks, books, planets, whatever P programs - intelligent entities able to move between computer systems R robots - mobile, usually mechanical, non-humanoid MIs S ships - intelligent; only mobile in the form of a (star)ship Y cyborgs - born human, almost completely replaced by machine parts y mechanical beasties - born non-human & augmented with machine parts e evolved - any of the MI forms which evolved their intelligences (expanded definitions are given at the end of the list) format: `short stories` (in _novels/anthologies_) novels Author (real name) MI-type Title (copyright date) [MI name or form where known] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abe, Kobo (1924-) C Inter Ice Age 4 (or _Daiyon kampyoki_) (1970) Adams, Douglas [Noel] (1952-) R Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (1987) [Monk of Belief] R Life, the Universe and Everything (1982) R So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish (1984) [Marvin] CRS The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (1980) R The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (1981) Adlard, Mark C?

P Last Dancer Taken from the PR Release: Set principally in 2076, though there is a lengthy section set 50,000 years in the past. The book is principally about Denice Castanavers, during a TriCentennial Rebellion. Trent is in the book for about one hundred pages. ``The last Dancer'' expands the stage on which events are taking place; you'll finally learn something substantial about the Continuing Time at large, as opposed to learning only about post-Unification Earth. P The Long Run Seven years after the United Nations Peace-Keeping-Forces nuked the telepaths developed from the Superman Project, Trent the Uncatchable bumps into Denice. What follows is their attempt to evade the PKF who stumbled upon the two. Trent, using his skills, humiliates the PKF in the Earth-Moon system in an attempt to teach them a lesson.
