Books like Star Trek - Ex Machina by Christopher L. Bennett
In the aftermath of the events of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, the captains and crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise are haunted by their encounter with the vast artificial intelligence V'Ger. James T. Kirk, Spock, and Leonard McCoy must grapple with the personal fallout of that ordeal while a chapter from their shared past is reopened, raising troubling new questions about the relationship among God, Man, and AI. On the recently settled world of Daran IV, former refugees of the Fabrini worldship Yonada are divided by conflicting ideologies, as those clinging to a theocratic past clash with visionaries who envision a future governed by reason alone. Echoes of the V'Ger encounter reverberate among the Enterprise officers who years ago overthrew the Oracle, the machine-god that controlled Yonada. Confronting the consequences of those actions, Kirk, Spock, and McCoy face choices that will decide the fate of a civilization and may change them forever.
