It's not artificial intelligence--it's hyperintelligence.  Geniuses Andre Mikhailovich Solonitsyn and Jefferson "Jerry" Davis Numery V collaborate on a project to create the world's first truly-intelligent computer.  And it works...they have a truly advanced, conscious device whose sole workings fit in a space the size of a poker chip, nicknamed Jay.  One would think that such a creation would land them into trouble of the omniscient-computer-gone-rogue-to-destroy-humanity variety, but what instead plagues Andre, Jerry and their comrades is a twofold problem: the inhumane sacrifices that the U.S. government is willing to make in order to get Jay and what society's persistent modification of natural processes has done to the world.  Armed with that knowledge, this pack soon becomes the world's only chance at salvation.  "The End of the Computer," then, is not just a tale about the perils of technology, but rather of modern science as a whole.
