Self-constructing robotic bases like SCARAB are the cutting edge in deep-space colonization technology in Tantalus Depths. The idea of a robot that is capable of building itself out of the resources it encounters may seem far-fetched, but did you know scientists today see this as a very real possibility? They’re called Von Neumann Probes, and they’re even more outlandish in reality than they are in Tantalus Depths.
Watch this video with Dr. Michio Kaku, and learn how a robotic spaceship the size of a needle could help humanity conquer the galaxy.

If the idea of a machine that builds itself is interesting to you, or the potentially disastrous results of giving a machine too much power over its own environment, please consider pre-ordering a copy of Tantalus Depths now. It explores this theme and many, many others.
