1209.0. "Harrison: The Turing Option" by NEEPS::IRVINE (Sobriety has it's own drawbacks!) Thu Feb 10 1994 08:27

    I have found no reference to this book in the conf. so far....
    
    I am only only half way through the book but the story line is
    credible, and enjoyable to some degree.  The only let down is th time
    scales.  Based in 2023, the technology mentioned seems a little
    advanced, but there again if you asked someone in 1944 about technology
    they may have the same thoughts!
    
    Any comments...  the book was co-written by Minsky (AI engineer?).
