Daemon is a book about a CEO of a hugely successful gaming franchise, discovers terminal cancer and releases the AI before death. The AI starts it's own currency, only good for spending with members. So you help the collective in some way, and the collective will respond in kind. Similarly later in the book mininum wage folks in various corporations are convinced to help the AI to the detriment of the corps. Interesting take on the AI takes over the world theme.
