Fifth Generation: Artificial Intelligence and Japan's Computer Challenge to the World
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

The Fifth Generation: Artificial Intelligence and Japan?s Computer Challenge to the World
Seller: Crappy Old Books, Barry, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Fine. The Fifth Generation: Artificial Intelligence and Japan?s Computer Challenge to the World (1984) by Edward A. Feigenbaum & Pamela McCorduck ? Michael Joseph ISBN: 0718124014 | Condition: Fine | With Plastic Protective Jacket | Available from Crappy Old Books Ah, 1984. Orwell gave us Big Brother, and Feigenbaum and McCorduck gave us the tantalising promise (and looming dread) of The Fifth Generation . This was the book that convinced the world Japan was about to build thinking machines that would either help humanity reach utopia?or at the very least, beat everyone else at chess. If you?ve ever wanted to read a Cold War techno-thriller, but with footnotes, this is your chance. This copy is in fine condition ?a phrase rarely uttered at Crappy Old Books, but here we are. Not only is it clean, crisp, and seemingly untouched by human folly, it also comes wrapped in a plastic protective jacket , as though it had been cryogenically preserved by an overcautious librarian awaiting the robot uprising. The result? A time capsule from 1984, ready to whisper its prophecies to you without even a dog-eared corner in sight. Inside, you?ll find a heady mix of technical prophecy, cultural anxiety, and the kind of optimism that makes modern AI researchers either chuckle or wince. Japanese engineers were gearing up to unleash the ?fifth generation? of computing?machines with logic, reasoning, and terrifyingly good manners. America and Europe were supposed to quiver in their boots. Spoiler: what we actually got were faster spreadsheets, Tamagotchis, and eventually TikTok. But don?t let hindsight spoil the fun?this is a vintage techno-fear cocktail , shaken, not stirred. As with all Crappy Old Books, we can?t promise it will teach you how to fend off Skynet or impress your laptop with your superior knowledge of Prolog. But we can promise that owning this beautifully preserved copy will let you look very clever indeed while sipping coffee and muttering about how ?people saw all this coming in the ?80s.? So, if you?re a collector of Cold War curios, a lover of AI history, or simply someone who appreciates a fine book in a fine plastic jacket, this one?s for you. Think of it as an artefact from an alternate future?the future that never quite arrived, but still makes for a damn good read. Crappy Old Books: keeping yesterday?s technological anxieties in tomorrow?s mint condition. Condition near new, well preserved. Seller Inventory # 4369
