@rootkovska after that try the opposite argument: the emperor's new mind. Less fun, but proved to be more correct of the two.

@rootkovska I love this book! I've been reading* it for the last 25+ years. I just bought a new copy for sitting** on my shelf so I can read it some more.

* "reading"
* and sitting and sitting.

@rootkovska this book was extremely fun and interesting. Read when i was ~21. It's antithesis is not as fun, but more prescient (we still don't have strong AI): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperor's_New_Mind
