Críticas
"In this entertaining, thought provoking and rich-in-metaphors book, Rawlins explores and explains the computer, from its modest origins to its most immodest potential relationship with humans. A pleasant must' for anyone who cares about the broader what', how' and how far' of these machines."--Michael L. Dertouzos, Director, MIT Laboratory for Computer Science; Author of "What Will Be"
Reseña del editor
In Moths to the Flame, Gregory J. E. Rawlins took lay readers on a tour of the exciting and sometimes scary world to which computers are leading us. His second book is for those who are new to computers and want to know what is "under the hood." It shows what computers can do for us and to us. Each of the six chapters asks a simple question: What are computers? How do we build them? How do we talk to them? How do we program them? What can't they do? Could they think? Written in an accessible, anecdotal form, Slaves of the Machine successfully demystifies the computer. Rawlins presents the birth of the computer, charts its evolution, and envisions its development in terms of the state of the art as of 1997 and into the future.

Rawlins took lay readers on a tour of the exciting and sometimes scary world to which compters are leading us. This new book is for those who are new to computers and want to know what is "under the hood." It shows what computers can do for us and to us.

Each of the six chapters asks a simple question: What are computers? How do we build them? How do we talk to them? How do we program them? What can't they do? Could they think?
