Reading the 3rd one, it goes into the realm of silliness after the first half. It's written by a fantasist, not a realist.
Alien griefers that act as a united grief and yet no other civilaztion realises what's happening and gets rid of these robots?
It just smacks of not thinking it through.
It's like the constant terrorist threat we're apparently under. If it's so threatening, why does it hardly ever materialise, and usually materialise as utter failure.
I'm far more likely to believe that in a civilaztion's golden age everyone retreats to ultimate VR fantasies that are so much better than reality that no effort is made to expand.

That I can believe.
