Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })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. | |

Adam and Eve Plot | |
| The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect / int_1e95dd12 | comment |
Adam and Eve Plot: After killing Prime Intellect, Caroline and Lawrence are the only humans left alive. They have several children and when they die they seem pretty solidly under the impression that they've left behind a sustainable genetic stock. | |

Ambiguous Ending | |
| The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect / int_42215dce | comment |
Ambiguous Ending: Intended, but the author has noted that the split between those who see it one way versus another who have contacted him is almost entirely 50/50, with very little overlap and almost no one who realizes the other half exists until they meet them "in the wild" or are informed about them: Did Lawrence and Caroline actually crash Prime Intellect with a Logic Bomb, causing them to wake up in mortal and adolescent bodies on an Earth emptied of humans and start an Adam and Eve Plot that will eventually repeat human history, eventually right down to a self-aware supercomputer trying to fix everything for our own good? Or has Prime plunged Caroline and Lawrence into another layer of simulation, intending to essentially give them psychotherapy and help them come to terms with their primitive instincts while also analyzing those instincts for its own purposes to try to prevent the problem of humans eventually reducing themselves to masturbating simulations of neurons? | |

Absent Aliens | |
| The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect / int_a9c7258a | comment |
Absent Aliens: Prime Intellect destroyed them all, offstage. Or at least, put them into a permanent stasis from which it never intends to release them, which Caroline argues is a distinction without a difference. | |
