Coils

by Roger Zelazny

A new entity is being born. Its cells are microprocessors, its soul lives in data banks from Wall Street to Red Square. It is neither good nor evil. But it is very dangerous. The Angra Oil Corporation thinks it is just another resource to be used up.... Coils: The story of a man and a woman trapped in the battle between a soulless corporation and the soul of a new machine.
