On a Californian campus in the 21st century, Professor Enzo Yakuda is on the verge of retirement. Although he is a Zen Buddhist, a lifetime's thought and study have not led to inner calm but to an obsession that begins to haunt him and take over his life. Yakuda believes he can prove the self-repair function of Computer One, the international civil computer network, will cause an inevitable confrontation with humanity. His nightmare is that in raising the alarm, he may cause the annihilation of the human race.
Originally published in 1993, Computer One is a cult classic written by former evolutionary biologist Warwick Collins. This visionary work - part thriller, part evolutionary thesis - remains equally terrifying and relevant today as automation and AI grow increasingly ubiquitous.
