Really people!!!!! How about an early novel about intelligent computers

	Colossus (spelling uncertain)
	(I can't remember the second book but it had Colossus in title)
	Colossus and the Crab

The story starts with a computer controlling the US defence network that
becomes intelligent, joins up with it's Russian counterpart and decides
that it should run the world.
