About This Item
Basic Books, Harper Collins, New York - ISBN:0465007813 1996 Hard cover in unclipped dust jacket Ex-Library copy with usual stamps, stickers, barcode. Very Good book in Very Good dustjacket Cutting-edge computer scientists are coming to see that electronic circuits really ARE alien, that the difference between the human mind and computer capability is not merely one of degree (how fast?) but of kind (how?). Computers, suggests James Bailey, 'think' best when their 'thoughts' are allowed to emerge from the interplay of millions of tiny operations all interacting with one another in parallel, a situation that would drive the most profound thinker crazy.
