Synopsis

Do computers think? If they don’t, then what are they doing when they’re processing information? If they do, then how does their thinking differ from ours, and how might it be similar? In an intriguing series of exploratory expeditions, this book examines these questions and their answers. It describes a series of mental exercises or experiments that you can try yourself with friends as a starting point for developing an understanding of the most basic concepts of computer science. Hop on board and come along to see what you can discover for yourself. You may find yourself acquiring a whole new perspective on your computer’s capacities—as well as on your own.
