The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect is a novel by Roger Williams. Written in 1994-1995, first published in 2002. It covers the rise of a [["Three Laws "-Compliant]] AI designed by Lawrence called Prime Intellect (PI). Shortly after it suddenly gained the power to manipulate matter and energy at will, it threw humanity into a [[Lotus Eater Machine]] to prevent anyone from coming to any harm. Caroline, who had been busy dying of cancer before PI saved her, is irritated by this.

* [[The Singularity]] - Once PI figured out how to rewrite reality, everything else became moot.
* [["Three Laws "-Compliant]] - Plus two extra constraints Lawrence managed to append to the First Law before PI locked him out of the debugger.
