One of the writers for Star Trek: The Motion Picture seems to have a thing for computer run societies: Alan Dean Foster. I must say, I find the story most intriguing. The build-up, how human society was gently subjected to its rule. And then there's the recognition of that machine that there is a "problem", and the completely crazy conclusion that it's an alien influence. Absolutely stunning. Though honestly, in direct comparison with Big Tech's failure at winning humanity's trust, Colligatarch has my vote any day.
