I have all six Aliens Omnibus volumes, both AvP Omnibi, Predator Omnibus 4, TWW trade paperback, Civilized Beasts, and (unfortunately) the Mindhunter Witchblade/Darkness crossover. I plan on picking up the way of the Predator Omnibi over the summer.
As far as tha AI themes, it's pretty easy to read the Toy incident from DOTS as a catalyst for the anti-synth paranoia that led to the Big Deletion.
Stronghold also shows exploitation of synths, so I would put it in that category, too.
There's also a pretty clear arc of humans eventually overcoming the xenomorphs, pushing them back to a few planets where The Company is hiding them (Salvation and Xenogenesis)
