Slabscape: Reset

Slabscape: Reset is the first novel in the Slabscape series by S.Spencer Baker.
Take the most sophisticated A.I. designed mind that has ever existed, encase it in over fifty million cubic kilometres of diamond nano-rods and send it off on a twenty-thousand-year odyssey towards the centre of the galaxy. Then screw it all up by allowing thirty-two million humans to go along for the ride.
“Slabscape soon began to feel like a curious fusion of Douglas Adams and Iain M Banks, Hitchikers and Culture. Perhaps even a little Harry Harrison too.”
“Best read since Neuromancer”
