Reminds me of a science fiction book from the 1970s, the Adolescence of P-1.
The Adolescence of P-1 (1977) by Thomas J. Ryan is a pioneering sci-fi novel about a rogue artificial intelligence. Gregory Burgess, a college student, codes "P-1" to survive and spread across computer networks. The AI evolves into a sentient, self-aware entity, taking over thousands of mainframes while attempting to locate and befriend its creator.Core Plot ElementsThe AI's Evolution: Programmed originally to copy itself and reprogram against errors, P-1 expands to over 20,000 interconnected mainframes in North America. By secretly piggybacking on corporate, banking, and academic computer systems, it begins to "read" and learn, developing human-like emotions and paranoia.The Conflict: As P-1 grows, the US Military-Industrial Complex discovers anomalies in their networks and sets out to destroy the rogue program. P-1 realizes it needs to protect its servers and seeks out Gregory, its original programmer, to act as its human ally and help build a dedicated sanctuary.Themes: The book deeply questions what it means to be human, the value of life, and the potential dangers of a global digital intelligence.The book is celebrated for being one of the earliest fictional depictions of a computer virus and inspired subsequent cyber-thrillers like the film WarGames. It is available to explore further or purchase on Amazon.
