A Fire Upon the Deep
Vernor Vinge
I haven’t read tons of sci fi, but the best I’ve read about an escaping malevolent Super Intelligent AI is “A Fire Upon the Deep” by Vernor Vinge. The part where it escapes is terrifying, quite frankly. Highly recommended.

The Hunt for Planet X: New Worlds and the Fate of Pluto
Govert Schilling
@AstronutCymru @drbecky_ I read Govert Schilling’s book ‘The Hunt for Planet X’ but I hadn’t heard of Tony Simon’s book. I will have to look for it. Thanks for the tip!
