I'm afraid Daemon (novel) beat you to the punch. It's an excellent novel, about fairly similar situations.

And a really fun read. If someone here decides to get this book, get the sequel as well - Daemon ends on kind of a cliff-hanger.

Freedom (TM) is the sequel, and the author (Daniel Suarez) has a few other near-term what-if-this-all-goes-skynet books which are equally good.

Thank you! I didn't know there was a sequel. I really enjoyed the first book.

One of my favourites, the sequels where similarly as good.

Daemon is in that area but I'd for sure also enjoy the original proposal.
