Dean R. Koontz - Demon Seed.

Demon Seed was first published in 1973 but a 1997 re-write is highly recommendable.
Dean Koontz tells a very chauvinistic story of an artificial intelligence and its measures to attain corporeality in the form of a genetically engineered human body.

Men reading this will perhaps recognize some aspects of themself in the "ramblings" of the AI. I know now that the teenage me suffered from some of these misconceptions and I cannot but wonder if the brave new world with the ever growing part of the public space being erotical or pornographic oriented haven't made it even worse.

I would give it a rating of 6 out of 10.
