The Compleat Bolo

by laumer • 1976

As the concept of intelligent fighting machines developed, the Bolo division of General Motors started working on tank designs that incorporated awareness and intelligence within the development of their tactical tanks. With each new generation, these awesome fighting machines become more self-aware, with capabilities not only matching their human controllers, but often surpassing them. This collection of action-packed stories lets the Bolo war machines speak for themselves as they hunt and destroy all who stands in their way. But beyond the action itself, these stories speak to us all on a very human level … about the far-reaching, and often tragic, consequences of our actions.
