Radix

Attanasio, A. A. Radix. New York: Bantam, 1985.

Includes a "takeover attempt by a machine." Rev. Gary Zacharias, FR #85 (Nov. 1985): 16, whom we quote. Said by D. Porush to apply the ideas of Ilya Priogine in depicting "the auto-evolution of a machine intelligence"—a very early use in SF of Priogine's version of chaos theory ("Priogine . . .," listed under Background, 386).
