Sometimes it feels like history is stuck in a loop. With some minor variation -- this quote applies today.

"Socially and politically every country of nineteenth-century Europe was divided into two great hostile camps. On one side were the old guard supported by Monarch and Church and on the other the new emergent forced of democracy, a motley collection of political idealists, anarchists, free thinkers, atheists and moderate republicans, bent upon revolution and national independence." -- The complete book of witchcraft and demonology: witches, devils, and ghosts in western civilization by Eric Maple 1962 p154

Scifi book -- main characters are a human male and female, with serial ports attached to their skulls. Secondary character is an AI who's physical hardware was originally intended to be installed in a large writing desk, but as the book starts the trio are fleeing from Earth to Mars.

Something about the AI being allowed to use the memory of another device when it is in low power mode, and dominates some area of what could be considered an internet.

Haven't ready it in 25+ years and have been searching/stumped.
