Space and Horse Opera, A Hybrid Tale
This has been waiting in my stack for too long. It is by LIN KA-MING (Magus Firecow). Kind of a Texas tale, don't ya know.
A long, long time from now...

At first, it was just the super high tech orbiting stuff that achieved self-awareness but soon more terrestrial devices gained intelligence.
Unfortunately the machines loathed each other and war broke out between orbiting and Earthly devices. Humankind had already moved out into space, but at the discovery that our original homeworld was in a crisis situation, we returned. By the time we reached Earth again, all the original machines had been destroyed. The descendants of those original devices were still battling, trying to obliterate each other -- an ancient blood feud, where one planetary region wasn't big enough for the two mechanical clans. The future humans had to make a decision that would end the war. But it was clear that humankind had been in space too long as there was no sympathy for the terrestrial machines.
