There's a scifi novel I'm reading that is set 1000 years in the future where there are starships and dome environments but computing power is not that far from our actual present but there's a religion that believes that a sentient AI was created at some point, and it's merely concealing the fact of its existence while also secretly controlling everything. Honestly, if this was the 2100's, I'd be a devotee.
