Galatea 2.2 - Richard Powers - książka

Opis

After spending numerous years overseas, a young author makes his way back to the United States to join the faculty at his alma mater. It is there that he meets Philip Lentz, a vocal neurologist with ambitious plans to emulate the workings of the human brain using computational methods. Lentz draws the writer into a bold and fascinating experiment, which involves educating a computer system using a renowned collection of classic literature. Over time, as the computer is exposed to these lessons, it begins to develop a deeper understanding of the world, eventually questioning its own identity, including its age, gender, ethnicity, and purpose.
