The Most Human Human – Brian Christian
Cudahy Main Stacks: BD450 .C5356 2011.
If you had to prove to someone that you were a real human being and not just a convincing fake, how would you do so? And what does this question tell us about what it means to be human, as well as to be ‘real’? Author Brian Christian meanders through fields as widespread as linguistics, poetry, artificial intelligence, and philosophy in a quest to win a contest against a computer for who can seem the most human. Readable, funny, and thought-provoking, The Most Human Human will fascinate you – as much for the intruiging detours as for the main concept.
