Destination Void is a science fiction novel about a starship crew sent from a ruined Earth to colonize another star system. Their voyage is also an experiment, since the ship's controlling intelligence must be developed far beyond anything yet built if the journey is to succeed.
As problems mount, the crew struggles with fear, conflict and ethical dilemmas about creating a conscious machine. The novel explores artificial intelligence, human limits and the meaning of awareness, and it begins a series later continued with other authors' input.
