The Most Human Human : What Artificial Intelligence Teaches Us about Being Alive
Overview
A playful, profound book that is not only a testament to one man's efforts to be deemed more human than a computer, but also a rollicking exploration of what it means to be human in the first place.

Brian Christian--a young poet with degrees in computer science and philosophy--was chosen to participate in a recent competition. ThisCustomers Also Bought
