5.0 out of 5 stars WHEN HARLIE WAS ONE, February 2, 2000
By 
Shannon Roy (Sydney, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: When Harlie was one (Hardcover)
A superb and thoughful book - the "Version 2", which is hard to find is very much better than the "original" which feels a little dated these days.

BTW The name HARLIE is an acronym which changes in the two versions of the book. In version 1 the acronym is for Human Analog Robot Life Input Equivalents. The last reviewer is dead wrong and actually gives away one of the key plot points and "jokes" of the book, so SPOILERS BELOW! You have been warned!

5.0 out of 5 stars When H.A.R.L.I.E. Was One (Release 2.0), June 18, 2005
I looked for a long time for "When Harlie Was Two" (a title promised in the book "When Harlie Was One"). Never found it.

There was a good reason! That book was never written.

I finally found it at Worldcon 63 (Noreascon 4) in the huckster's room where I ran across the author himself at a booth selling "When Harlie Was One (Release 2.0)".

It may be out of print, but it is not unavailable. Try his home page.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful, thought-provoking book, March 5, 1999
By 
mathew (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
This is the only book that's ever kept me awake all night, unable to stop reading until I got to the end. I think it was around 3am when I finally finished it. I don't usually re-read novels, but this was one of the rare exceptions, and I think it's due for a third reading some time soon.

If you're at all interested in AI, the mystery of consciousness, and related ethical issues, then you have to read this book.
