DESCRIPTION

The Mavericks Who Brought A.I. to Google, Facebook, and the World
And he poses the question that will dominate the next half-century: where will AI take us next?
________________________________________________

'Metz tells his engrossing story through the lives of a dozen geniuses, scores of brilliant men (mostly), and an ongoing, cutthroat industrial and academic arms race .

'This colourful page-turner puts artificial intelligence into a human perspective . Metz explains this transformative technology and makes the quest thrilling.' Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs
____________________________________________________

This is the inside story of a small group of mavericks, eccentrics and geniuses who turned Artificial Intelligence from a fringe enthusiasm into a transformative technology. It's the story of how that technology became big business, creating vast fortunes and sparking intense rivalries. And it's the story of breakneck advances that will shape our lives for many decades to come - both for good and for ill.

'A ringside seat at what may turn out to be the pivotal episode in human history . easy and fun to read . undeniably charming.' Forbes
