Wetware is Rudy Rucker's book
and second book in trilogy Software,
Wetware, and Freeware. It was published
in 1988.
Synopsis
Humans created the sentient robot "boppers," but now it's the
boppers who have started creating humans. Clones and DNA-splicing
have spawned the meatbop, a human body infused with the software
(the mind and personality) of a bopper. The meatbops are interested
in propagating down on Earth, but that might not be so good for
humanity (the boppers have a nasty habit of enslaving humans,
actually). When a couple of (reasonably) innocent humans get tangled
up in the bopper's machinations on the moon, it's time to drag
out the stored mind of bopper-creator Cobb Anderson and see if
he can help.
