Speaking of books, have you ever read the Earthsea series? The way you talk about things reminds me of how in Earthsea things have a true name by which you can call and have them send towards your will. The trick is that some people have more then one true name and that, I think, is metaphor for how we can escape being manipulated when someone (or AI) learns our nature.
