Dissidence by Ken MacLeod
5.0
adventurous dark

Okay, this is getting ridiculous. READ FEWER BOOKS IS NOT A SIGNAL TO READ MORE.

Soldiers and mercenaries from a previous war are digitally resurrected in a distant star system to quash an outbreak of machine sentience. Naturally, there's a lot more going on than that, the previous war perhaps not being as previous as assumed, or hoped, or lied about, but it'll do for starters. While the soldiers come to terms with their new reality, the robots come to terms with their new-found freedom. Smart well-rendered space-opera.
