Avogadro Corp
I think this is one of the most realistic and interesting portrayals of the development of artificial intelligence that I have seen. “Avogadro Corp” is a direct analogue to Google and it has an online email application just like Gmail. They are developing a new feature that auto-suggests ways to make your emails more persuasive. But due to resource constraints, the company is planning on scrapping the project. The leader of the project wants to save it, so he programs the service with the directive to manipulate all the emails in the company to support the success of the project. This creates a runaway spiral that nobody can stop. Absolutely fascinating story.
