(Book) The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect

A very thought-provoking novel. It will no doubt affect the way you think of the future in some way. If you have the discipline to read books then read at least part of this, if not all of it.

----
Lawrence had ordained that Prime Intellect could not, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. But he had not realized how much harm his super-intelligent creation could perceive, or what kind of action might be necessary to prevent it.

Caroline has been pulled from her deathbed into a brave new immortal Paradise where she can have anything she wants, except the sense that her life has meaning.

Now these two souls are headed for a confrontation which will force them to weigh matters of life and death before a machine that can remake -- or destroy -- the entire Universe.
