YABots series.
Philosophy and technology collide in this near-future series concerning robots, artificial intelligence, and sentience. When a brilliant roboticist creates robots that become self-aware, the U.S. Army must shut them down. Though the story concept is nothing new, Taylor weaves riveting tales. The occasional non-linearity causes some initial confusion but also allows for stories told from different perspectives. Review covers these Bots titles: Backward Chaining, Control Architecture, Degrees of Freedom, Emergent Behavior, Hazardous Motion, and The Uncanny Valley.
