Reminds me of the book "Avogadro Corp: The Singularity is Closer than it Appears" [0], in which (spoiler alert):
- a-company-that-is-totally-not-Google is developing a tool for an-email-service-that-is-totally-not-Gmail, which can rewrite emails with the goal of maximizing the chance of a desired outcome happening (automatically added mentions of family when requesting time off from a boss who prioritizes family, etc)
- the project is in danger of being canceled, so a developer changes the code to prioritize rewriting internal company emails with the goal of maximizing the survival of the project
- you can guess what happens next :)
