Reminds me of this short sci fi story I just recently listened to on a podcast.
The Plastic People
That’s the story in text. If you want to hear it read to you, it’s CZM Book Club: The Plastic People by Tobias Buckell out on 23 Dec 2023.
Reminds me of Code of the Lifemaker, where mechanical life evolves on Titan. Seemed oddly plausible when I read it, but it’s been 20+ years. LOL, maybe it was stupid.
