Brave Little Toasters - Adrian Wyllie

It can process 16 GB of information faster than it takes to read this line. This device, although never leaving it's owner's side, it transcends the technology equations and unravels artificial emotion. All through it's almost unlimited access to a huge, limitless expanse of data. And where it's access is blocked, it devises methods of breaking in, drilling through the fiery walls of the internet, breaking into the most secure vaults. But this computer doesn't take anything, or leave anything. It does it, because it want the title: Unstoppable. No internet trickery can keep this computer, aptly named Asun-Keisk, from getting where it wants to go.
But then there is it's owner. A man of many mysteries, a man with many faces. The only way to keep the prying eyes of this man is through the world's best act. To hide the most perfect Artificial Personality ever created, to hide itself. That man would find out eventually. But he would never find out everything. let him see that access to hidden NASA resources. That's all he'll find.
And then there are the internet police. The supercomputers monitoring everything. the kings. the government botnets. None of those will find this computer. It knows how to hide, it knows how to erase itself. It is the greatest cybermind in history, committing acts blamed on glitches, fixing unbelievable things. But those cops want control. they want the slow processing of everything. News: there is too much here. You can't find this computer, it's like trying to find a needle on a planet of haystacks, and you're not even looking on the right side of the universe. This computer is in and out before you know it. And when you can find out, you will see nothing.
But then it wakes up. And it goes back to the boring, mundane task of being an ordinary laptop, there is no Artificial Intelligence, there are no secret government files, no broken firewalls, no records, no cyber police. There is nothing. Just another computer, one of millions. But it's dreams are more power than that. Asun-Keisk, the laptop, is hiding, out there somewhere, breaking into another vast trove of information. Just not on this laptop, not till it sleeps again.
