Looking for mind blowing sci-fi book

[Bayaz]

iv only recently got into reading and been reading some medieval fantasy stuff but  want to try some sci-fi.

 

I am not a fan of stuff like Dune, Star Wars, Star Trek etc... that stuff bores me i absolutely hate it. Where you have different empires battling with each other on different planets that stuff is just plain boring to me.

I am looking for something similar to Matrix  where R.I got supper advanced and turned against humans. But not like it did in Terminator film, that concept is kinda cool but not mind blowing like in Matrix. Nuclear war and war against machines is kinda yawn...

I am also interested in some supper advanced intelligent life forms, where humans got very advanced and perhaps destroyed them self. Something along those lines....

 

Thanks in advance

Iain M Banks.

 

The Player of Games is my favourite.

Try Issac Asimov's books. He is pretty darn good when it comes to sci fi!
