Trefil{\textquoteright}s prose is lively and engaging." {\textemdash}Boston Globe"Trefil{\textquoteright}s race through the science that could explain the brain is highly readable." {\textemdash}Sunday Times of London"In a provocative essay, Trefil argues that the science of artificial intelligence is progressing rapidly. Machines, he theorizes, will one day develop a new kind of intelligence and self-awareness. So, maybe the real question is: Are we ready?" {\textemdash}San Diego Union-Tribune"A highly readable and engaging treatment of a fascinating question. Trefil makes a case for human uniqueness while at the same time celebrating the achievements of creations ranging from lobsters to neural nets.
