This review is from: What Computers Can't Do: The Limits of Artificial Intelligence (Paperback)

The book is very usefull - if you wanna do some learning and thinking your self. I use it as an anchoring point in my seminars. It is good because it allows me to interpret it - not just to follow it - and reach out for the concrete situation of the everyday worklife of the participants in my seminars.
