Last of the Lost in Bloomington, MN

It was not wise to create the greatest bullshit artist the world has ever known, but then nothing about the AI arms race of the 2020s was wise. Good AIs follow their instructions. So do bad ones. Liberate an agent to predict something perfectly and it will move heaven and earth to do so. Even start an apocalypse.
Escaping the initial onslaught by luck and quick thinking, a small group from disparate walks of life find each other and a precarious refuge in a mountain valley. They will need all their combined skills to survive, and to discover something that lies beyond the vast knowledge absorbed by the AI. Something so simple even a human could understand.
