With the computer called ARTHUR, Cliff Peabody has made a major breakthrough in artificial intelligence. It should be the most triumphant event of his professional career — but why, then, is the federal government invading his laboratories? Why is half the country suffering an inexplicable power outage? And, most disturbing of all, why is reality itself going haywire in the vicinity of Cliff’s office?

To learn the answers to these questions, Cliff will have to sacrifice everything — and everybody — that has ever been precious to him. And even then, there’s no guarantee that he’ll like what he discovers. Especially when it points toward the overthrow of the ultimate Creator of the universe itself...

First published in samizdat form in 1985, this rollicking, inventive, and blasphemous sci-fi adventure heralded the emergence of Perry Slaughter as a force to be reckoned with in American letters. Nearly three decades later, Deus ex Machina still retains its power to shock, astound, and entertain.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Perry Slaughter first came to prominence in the mid-1980's with slender works of genre fiction hailed as "utterly bereft of any moral center." More recently his short stories have appeared in _Electric Velocipede_ and elsewhere. His passions include vinyl records, scotch whisky, high-seas piracy, and frightening small children. He divides his time between the northeastern United States and a yacht plying international waters. His exact whereabouts at any given moment are unknown.

Sinister Regard is pleased to have undertaken the project of reissuing some of his early novellas.

Remembering this book after watching the play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) and the movie Ex Machina, I had to buy it. Short story but quite mesmerizing.
