The Cunningham Equations
"Blaise Cunningham was a Nobel-Prize winner, the world's foremost expert in artificial intelligence and one of the best computer programmers alive. He was also a falling-down drunk whose only friends were an intelligent computer, a good woman, a bad scientist, and a frisky puppy named Dobie. But Cunningham had plenty of enemies, including a couple of would-be dognappers. They wanted Dobie, and Cunningham didn't know why. He was afraid they'd kill the puppy, and he couldn't allow that. Even a drunk has to have some principles. It was a while before Cunningham realized that he was just a pawn in a game where science was warring for men's souls and thousands of lives had already been sacrificed!"--Page 4 of cover
