[ ... go ahead, eat my bits ... ]

Another excellent novel by James P. Hogan is "The Two Faces of Tomorrow"
(this would be category 1).  The sentinent computer is the object of
this novel.

He (Hogan) also *uses* a resonably sentinent computer in his "Minerva"
trilogy, perticularly in the 2nd book, "The Gentle Giants of Ganymead";
again in his novel "Voyage From Yesteryear", a sentinent computer plays
a big role.

"The Mote in God's Eye" by Niven/Pournell also depends heavily on a
sentinent computer.
