  • I quite enjoyed "Avogodro Corp" by William Hertling. It's the story of an email predictive text engine that grows into something more than that. Simple story but an interesting thought experiment.

    "The Nexus Trilogy" by Ramez Naam is more complex and has a much larger story, but it draws heavily on singularity theory, transhumanism, and posthumanism themes. The first book only touches on AI tangentially, but there's a heavier focus on it later in the series.

    "I Have no Mouth and I must Scream" is an extremely dark experimental piece that envisions a malicious AI as a mad god. It's mentioned elsewhere in this thread and is absolutely essential if you're going to be reading or writing about AI, in my opinion. This one is more psychological horror than hard sci Fi, but will stick with you forever.
