Destination: Void
Penguin 1st Edition, published 1967
The starship Earthling, filled with thousands of hybernating colonists en route to a new world at Tau Ceti, is stranded beyond the solar system when the ship's three Organic Mental Cores, disembodied human brains that control the vessel's functions, go insane. An emergency skeleton crew sees only one chance for survival: to create an artificial consciousness in the Earthling's primary computer, which could guide them to their destination . . . or could destroy the human race.
Condition grading: Excellent Minus. Some wear to top of spine. Usual page tanning for age. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
