The God Hater, by Bill Myers

In an artificial intelligence (AI) program that competing businesses kill for, the avatars keep killing each other off -- amoral savages that they are.   A new avatar based on our atheist hero is injected into the program.  He concludes that only through the metaphor of bible stories can he save the AI civilization.

I get that the author is a writer of "Christian fiction," and must therefore find a way to proselytize.  So ignoring that:  the plot was thin, the character development thin, the computer, hacking and AI notions ludicrously not credible.

Yuck.
