When Oxford mathematics student Alison Wishart accidentally creates artificial intelligence in her bedroom, her life is turned upside-down. Suddenly the whole world is contending for control of her creation. Who will come out on top? Will it be the monstrous General Cheeseburger, the Pentagon careerist? The billionaire industrialist, Danforth Zloty? Will British intelligence, under their enigmatic Chief, save it for the mother country? And who is that man who announces the times of trains at Waterloo Station?
Have you ever wondered what would happen if a researcher developed a self-actualized AI? This book deals with that question with a lot of humour and adventure. Follow the brilliantly inept MI5 and CIA as they bungle through in their own British and American ways. A joy to read!
