This is a fascinating story about the development of an omniscient, omnipotent artificial intelligence. Unlike most science fiction about AI, this one takes place not just after the AI has taken over, but also during its development. It is also unique in that the AI is actually designed to serve humans, so it creates a kind of utopia for people, as opposed to the dystopian world of the Terminator or Matrix movies. One of the best aspects of this book is how it discusses the internal implementation of the AI a little bit. This is just a very creative book, and amazingly it is freely available on the web!
