it sounds religious (even more than dune). it's a bout a 58 kms ship wich has procalaimed itself god. (surpassing all AI expectancy..immagine that) The main thing the humans have to do is decide HOW to worship her. Pandora is a planet created by the ship..with all sorts of creatures...sounds nice.
WAY nicer than the last asimov i've read.....i only like him for his hyperspace theories.

That sounds really odd. Does the ship say "I'm sorry Dave..."

no..but the ship seems to know everything and is unusually smart!
Besides..the planet it created is filled with monsters you wouldn't normally think about.

no..they don't nume it. It plays the role of god in the book. Instead..the ship just leaves them on the planet
