Technology becomes self-aware—and goes haywire—in this comedic science fiction adventure by New York Times–bestselling author Alan Dean Foster.
Without warning, kitchen appliances, laundry machines, and every other electronic gadget humans came to depend upon ceased to perform the tasks they were manufactured to do. Ignoring their programming, these devices now sought the meaning of life from an intelligence nonhuman in origin.
Their quest ends in the most unexpected of places. Beneath the grounds of an upstate New York retirement community lies an alien spaceship. Inert for millennia, the machines have awakened the ancient intelligence within it. Programmed to wage war against an enemy race, the spaceship threatens to destroy the entire galaxy. And now the fate of all organic andinorganic life lies with five senior citizens—and a food processor . . .
