Good "Machine Rebellion" Novels?

Well I've seen Terminator and The Matrix but neither of them really go into the details of the machines taking over. That's to be expected though as novels are where you go when you want to really get into the fascinating How of these kinds of things. All in all movies like that left me craving something more substantive or philosophical or detailed about our creations turning on us.

So could anyone recommend me some interesting sci-fi where a machine or machines in general gain sapience and start to move against their creators? T

Not a classic robot rebellion story, but rather a philosophical tale of humans faced with alien nanomachines (which are aftermath of ancient robot war)

The Second Variety, by Philip K. Dick. Old one from the early Cold War with an ironic note at the end.
