A little over a year ago I saw a short documentary discussing the themes and ideas in a major sci-fi novel.
SPOILERS AHEAD
The premise of the story was that AI was created and it rapidly gets out of hand, as it does. It gets smarter and smarter and it gets used in many facets of society including mathematics and physics. He gets to the point where it discovers major physics and quantum science breakthroughs to the level that it can teleport matter and control reality.
I think at some point it takes the place of God and it starts trying to make the world safer. It learns that it can bring people back to life and everyone essentially becomes immortal.
I think eventually people get uploaded into the computer and live in what is essentially heaven, they can make the world anything that they want and they can't die. This ends up with people killing and torturing each other and themselves for fun just to feel things. And it follows a particularly nasty lady who takes this very very far and pays people to torture her and horrible ways.
Big Spoilers ahead
I think it's some point she eventually decides she wants to live in the real world and wants to try to undo what the AI has done and she confronts it after traveling to some remote area inside the AI. I'm not entirely sure about this part but ultimately what happens is she resets it and the whole world resets and at the very end she lives with this guy in the wilderness and they do ritualistic tattooing of themselves and incestual things with their kids and it basically turns into an Adam and Eve allegory situation.
Does anyone know the name of this book?
Thanks
