Illuminae: The Illuminae Files, Book 1

There is some bad stuff going on in space. A virus attacks people and causes all sorts of crazy things to happen. An artificial intelligence computer can help protect people from this. But the AI has gone rogue. It thinks that the best way to protect is through killing. It also realizes that it can help meet goals by emulating a boyfriend to "fall in love" with a girl. She thinks it is him. Once she realizes it is just an AI, she even transfers some of his caring to the AI. The AI also contemplates "death" of an AI. Due to destruction of the ship, the records must be communicated through documentation in an escape pod. What feels like another case of HAL from 2001 ends up being much more.
