Freely available online [http://www.kuro5hin.org/prime-intellect/ here].

 

* [[Adam and Eve Plot]] - And the details are ''[[Squick|not]]'' left to the imagination...

* [[Ending Fatigue]]: Everything starts out as a decent scifi, apart from...[[Squick|half]] [[Gorn|of it]] {{spoiler|then it turns into a pre-agrarian [[Adam and Eve Plot]]}}

* [[Fetish Fuel]] - For ''horrible people'', yes, but given the amount of messed-up sex in there, it's gotta turn ''someone'' on.

* [[Gorn]] - Caroline hangs out in the [[Cyberspace]] equivalent of /b/. This is their primary form of amusement.

* [[Interquel]] - ''[http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2003/5/17/212828/593 A Casino Odyssey in Cyberspace]''

* [[Moral Dissonance]] - Okay, you were bored and/or had a death wish, but is that reason enough to {{spoiler|[[Logic Bomb]] ''god''}}? Whatever your actual intentions, that's a dick move right there. Most people were perfectly happy with the way things were.

* [[Moral Event Horizon]] - The Prime Intellect ended hunger, disease, war, suffering, inequality, pain, poverty, scarcity, death, terrorism, murder, torture, rape, theft, all crime and everything else that you can conceivably imagine of as evil and anti-ethical to human existence and wishes. The protagonists {{spoiler|''kill him'' and thus are ultimately responsible for any and all evil and suffering that occurs from that point on.}}

* [[Only One Name]] - Lawrence. Is his full name Dr Lawrence Lawrence?

* {{spoiler|[[Parental Incest]]}} - A natural consequence of the ending, and not left as just an implication, either...

* [[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.
