Fun throwback

70's concept of AI, some dated ideas, some novel, some still underappreciated to this day.
Quick read but makes you think.
Most influential AI SF
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is book ignited my interest in AI. I recently bought a used copy, signed by Hogan. Looking at it again, Hogan is a much weaker writer than I had remembered, but his vision was dead on. Clarke's HAL is completely unrealistic in comparision to Hogan's Hector and Sparticus.
Fascinating! I loved it.

As a computer programmer, I found the premise and the theory fascinating. Once again, another Hogan book that I couldn't put down until I was finished.
Still the best SF book on intelligent computers.

Hogan spent time discussing the premise of this book with such AI geniuses as Marvin Minsky, and it shows. A very plausible scenario and exciting execution. Also available as a well-adapted comic book from Dark Horse Comics.
Better Than A Space Odyssey

If I had the money, I'd get this story made into a movie! If you like Sci-Fi, and liked 2001 a lot, you've gotta give this a read. I've read it three times so far, and I'm about to order it so I can read it again (I've never owned it.)
Great book! Glad they re-issued it-very pertinent for today.

Read this story in '82 and was very impressed. Should stand well today and deals with a most important question which we'll have to face eventually. Has exciting ending and would make excellent film.
