Synopsis

Formed from cold steel and superpowered computing brains, these gigantic tanks with the firepower of an entire army have been the decisive factors in interplanetary battle. But are humans worthy of the extraordinary instruments of war that they have created? Are the Worldbreakers the greatest protector of human liberty, or its worst threat? For, while these Worldbreakers very definitely have minds of their own, the question remains: within their iron and superluminal quantum breasts, does there lie a faithful heart? Stories of world breakers and world makers in the great tradition of Keith Laumer's Bolos from David Weber, Larry Correia, Wen Spencer, and more!

I've been in a reading doldrums for a bit. Maybe with better weather I'll be motivated to escape yard work via reading.

Goodreads review by William

World Breakers edited by Tony Daniel The book purports to be about sentient tanks. Well, some of the stories are but others are more like AIs with weapons. As in any short story collection it is hard to review without going over every story. There wasn’t a story in this I didn’t like. Weber’s might......more
