They'd Rather Be Right by Mark Clifton
The book explores the consequences of creating a supercomputer with the ability to enhance human intelligence and extend life indefinitely. The machine, known as Bossy, becomes the center of controversy and fear, as it requires individuals to completely surrender their prejudices and preconceived notions to benefit from its gifts. The story delves into themes of human resistance to change, the struggle between individuality and the greater good, and the societal upheaval that ensues when a technology offers the potential for a utopian existence, but at the cost of deeply ingrained human traits and beliefs.
