Omega - The Almighty
One
winter evening, a television audience of millions sits spellbound
as a scientist,
famous for his chilling computer simulations of the future, makes a
speech that will alter the course of history. Work soon begins on the
island of Malta to build a gargantuan computer. The OMEGA
project brings together some of the world's most brilliant scientific
minds. Eugene Grant, a Noble Prize Winner and Jesuit priest, Marie
Singh, former Head of Artificial Intelligence at I.B.M, and the petulant
Chief Technician Dave Tolley. Each have their own reasons for doubting
the morality and wisdom of what they are creating. Soon OMEGA takes on a
personality, with a superhuman capacity for ultimate good or evil. But
no one can be sure whether OMEGA's coming signals a new age of
enlightenment, or the beginning of a nightmare end for humanity. As the
last moments of human independence tick away, two men begin a desperate
battle to outwit OMEGA and perhaps save mankind from their new master.
