Patricide Cannibalism-Yuck

2 stars, Patricide Cannibalism Yuck SUPER-EARTH MOTHER by Guy Immega Super-Earth Mother is a journey into the heart of humanity, artificial intelligence, and the uncharted realms of life beyond our home planet. It shows how humans could colonize the 40 billion habitable planets in the Milky Way. It was a computer's journey, to try to save humanity. But, it's not really humanity, no one is in cryonic sleep, and there are no actual humans on board the ship traveling on a 20,000-year interstellar journey from the ruined Earth. Mother-9 is the supercomputer in charge of the expedition, but she is unable to leave the spaceship. She successfully launches 2 life pods onto an alien planet, the life pods have artificial wombs and nanny bots who "hatch" out the human babies. Mother-9 has a hard time finding the right "formula" for humans that will survive on the harsh planet. She gives them silly names, but at least they are pronounceable. I quickly lost interest in the part about patricide cannibalism. I enjoy the science fiction fantasy genre, but I can't recommend this one.
