A Hunger for the Infinite, which first appeared in Robert Silverberg's Far Horizons anthology, is a novella that takes place in the universe of "The Galactic Center Saga", detailing a galactic war between mechanical and biological life. Here, the pilots had made it to True Center in order to destroy something, anything, important to the Mechs, but Paris had something else on his mind. A story of the Mantis, and the decline of humans beginning in 3600 AD.

What disappointed you about A Hunger for the Infinite?
It started out promising but when it turned into a machine seeking to find out what humanity is about, and using art etc, I was reminded, and not in a good way, of the Dune Prequel Machine Crusade and the associated premises. Some great descriptions and ideas about harvesting energy and evolution in machine based societies. Mr Benford would have served the reader better by making his story more about these.Would you recommend A Hunger for the Infinite to your friends? Why or why not?
No. The story was too preachy and predictably about a machine using people to try and discover what makes them human.What aspect of Robin Sachs’s performance would you have changed?
it was ok. Could have used a little more tonal variation and emphasis.You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Yes, see above - the galactic core and energy harvesting ideas.Good idea turns into a Machine Crusade re-run
