(#145671) THE WORLD AND THORINN. Damon Knight.

THE WORLD AND THORINN. New York: Published by Berkley Publishing Corporation Distributed by G. P. Putnam's Sons, [1981]. Octavo, boards. First edition. "In a barbarous distant future, the youth Thorinn explores a subterranean realm, finding remnants of machine civilization." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 426. This episodic, pretty confused story, has remnants of a machine civilization inside the Earth at "the bottom of the world." Thorinn dies and is brought back to life by "Engines," befriended by the "Box," a mobile AI, and guided by the "Monitor," a very old AI who apparently rules the world. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#145671).
