The Daily Mail (of all places) has a short story (it's not news, it's really a short science fiction story) about The Day The Worlds Ends. Here's a spoiler (rot 13 for the text then subtract 1 and then divide by 2 for the numbers) Sevqnl, Znepu 27, 4131. It's what I would call a "Dark Singularity" story, where all powerful AI run amok. Vernor Vinge and Ray Kurzweil even get a mention.
It's not the best Dark Singularity short story ever, but then it is a newspaper or, at least, a newspaper's web site so you don't often expect works of fiction (cue Daily Mail jokes).
