Reviews
Boden (philosophy and psychology, Univ. of Sussex, England) takes issue with Lady Lovelace's declaration that computers cannot be creative in the same way that humans can. She explores the field of computational psychology, which examines human creativity by analyzing computers that can mimic human creative efforts. According to Boden, understanding how computers process information and yield results resembling human creativity can reveal clues regarding how our own brains process information. This may help us to understand the creative process and increase our creative possibilities. Boden's book will appeal more to adults with a scientific bent, but it is also readable for humanities types interested in the subject.
