Genre: Action/Science Fiction
Plot:
You are a former hacker for a company, and you were good at it. For reasons unknown to everybody, you left the company you were working for and just disappeared.
Several years later, while tilling the land in a remote town, you receive a letter from a former colleague, he needs your hacking skills to "destroy a force far greater than your own". You hesitate, because you know that there are tons of better programmers/computer experts in the field today. You tell this to your colleague when you meet him, but he tells you that all the computer programmers, hackers and experts in the world were kidnapped by the agents of a supercomputer gone sentient. It is up to you to save the world, or at least figure out how to.
The Twist:
Your colleague is an agent of the supercomputer. You figure this out halfway through the story, but much later, after you kill him to save the world, he reveals that he was fighting the supercomputer all along, and he was covertly helping you in some of the things you did to get to that point. He didn't reveal this when you found out he was an agent because he believed you would be more determined if your state of mind was that of a betrayed person.
