The Computer That Ate My Brother is perhaps the most famous Dean Marney book. Published in 1985, it is about a boy who receives a computer on his twelfth birthday, only to find it has a mind of its own, flashing lights to get attention, switching itself on and off at will, communicating using text (similar to the WOPR), etc.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The computer causes the disappearance of the protagonist's brother, forcing him to come to terms with his hatred for his sibling. At the end, his brother returns, having been transformed by the experience of being warped to another dimension.
