Synopsis:
A charmingly academic novel about the nature of thought and the history of machine intelligence." -- Simson L. Garfinkel, Christian Science Monitor
Hermes and the Golden Thinking Machine is a witty, fast-paced mystery that combines suspense with crucial concepts from the emerging field of artificial intelligence. Harvard professor Hermes Steganos finds himself implicated in the theft of the "Golden Thinking Machine," a priceless ancient Greek computational device. Trapped in a pattern of events whose logic he cannot decipher, he must activate his new Al expert system to solve the mystery before it is too late.
Alexander Tzonis taught at Harvard from 1967 to 1981, and now is Crown Professor of Methodology of Architecture at the Technical University Delft in the Netherlands. He is the author of several books on architecture and design.
