Logic By Machine offers a historical snapshot of computers in the mid-1960's. With an eerie soundtrack by Morton Subotnick, and crude animation, the story of how computers make our lives easier and better is told in sometimes excruciating detail. Actual mathematicians impart fascinating knowledge and historical perspective on the inner workings of the earliest computers. Some topics that the film touches on as possibilities for the future are symbolic reality, artificial intelligence, and other social and philosophical discoveries. Logic By Machine is a compelling exploration of the rich and important history of computers.
