A very good book with plenty of cool ideas.

We got a berserker AI trying to eat whatever races it encounters, a planet of peculiar species of group minds and an interesting take on Singularity.

A galaxy divided into Zones where its laws of physics determine the intelligence their inhabitants have, even for artificial beings makes the book even more intriguing.

Similar to Gateway by Frederik Pohl, I read the Spanish version but in this case the way they translated the name of some species put me a bit off.
