The book was written back in 1976. So why mention it now? Because it is still relevant, even more than before. Horrific troubles have come because
humans trust too much to the great power of computers. Now more and more people want computers to due things that are well done by real people.
The book was written by
Joseph Weizenbau. At that time he was in the forefront of AI research using the equipment of the 60s and 70s.
The first time I saw his book I was just getting into computer programming and and set the book down. Later, I would find it was a
very important classic work.
Here are some parts of the book . Introduction and chapter 10. Take a lookt:
