Lemmy World Rules

Peace On Earth is a book by Stanislaw Lem, the author of Solaris.
It is my all-time favourite sci-fi novel.
The premise is that mankind builds autonomous war robots and sends them to the moon to fight proxy wars instead of real wars on earth. But the robots evolve. For reasons unknown, contact with the moon is lost, so humanity sends a astronaut up to see what's going on.
FYI, that's book 4 of a series.
