very distant: The Culture series by Ian Banks
Somewhat distant: I Robot by Asimov (specifically the ending)
I will not comment on the realism of either of these novels, but will say that both present optimistic visions of futures where super intelligent AGIs are commonplace and both have interesting ideas to consider regardless of exactly the extent to which they are grounded in reality.
