The Berserker series is a series of space opera science fiction short stories and novels by Fred Saberhagen, in which robotic self-replicating machines strive to destroy all life. These Berserkers, named after the human berserker warriors of Norse legend, are doomsday weapons left over from an interstellar war between two races of extraterrestrials. They all have machine intelligence, and their sizes range from that of an asteroid, in the case of an automated repair and construction base, down to human size (and shape) or smaller. The Berserkers' bases are capable of manufacturing more and deadlier Berserkers as the need arises. The Berserker hypothesis, formed as a possible solution to the Fermi paradox, takes its name from the series.

  • Berserker è una Space opera dello scrittore statunitense Fred Saberhagen. In Italia è stata edita parzialmente dalla collana fantascientifica Urania. La parola Berserker, nell'antica Mitologia norrena, indicava quei guerrieri che in battaglia erano particolarmente pervasi da foga omicida. Nella saga di Saberhagen è un tipo di macchine, costruito millenni prima della nascita dell'uomo, che hanno sviluppato una propria intelligenza artificiale, giungendo alla decisione di sterminare dall'universo qualsiasi forma di vita biologica.
