Code of the Coverup Maker
Seeing all the news from Titan has reminded my of a great James P. Hogan book: Code of the Lifemaker. Looks like there are no sentient robots there after all. Darn. Either that or it’s a conspiracy. A government and industry coverup just like the faked Moon landings and the “proof” that the face on Mars is really just lots of big rock formations that are “natural” and look nothing like a face closer up. Damn government, always trying to mislead and hide the truth from us.
I also found myself thinking of the book recently when I read of work that could eventually lead in the direction of growing from manmade seeds things like houses. That’s a specialy on Titan, where the people are machines and the structures they make are biological. There you go. The government is covering this up so they can pore over and introduce that technology slowly, decades after they first find it, just as they did with computer chip technology gleaned from alien craft, since we’re not advanced or intelligent enough to come up with microprocessor technology on our own as a naturally part of a flow of increasing knowledge and technical advancement.
