David Levy, founder of the Computer Olympiad, and expert on chess and computer games has written an informative history of artificial intelligence in Robots Unlimited: Life in a Virtual Age. He looks at the past of robotics and offers speculation about future applications of "thinking computers." There are interesting chapters on computers and religion, computers and emotions, computers and dreams, computers and sex, computers and ethics. There is a lot to think about in this book for both you and your computer.
