Hot Head
Simon Ings1992

Malise has a problem. She's come downwell to Earth, but years of space combat have ruined her: her muscles have wasted away, her past is a confused torture of events and her brain is wired to addictive military hardware that's illegal on Earth. With an AI mining probe returning to Earth, having bred and grown until it is hundreds of miles across, she is in the firing line again. The probe is indestructible, it is insatiable for more metals and no one knows how to stop it. Malise doesn't know she has a blueprint for humanity's survival wired into her head.
