The book was rumored to contain the ultimate revelations about the making of the Kubrick-inspired, Spielberg-written-and-directed science fiction epic. That is, the Pinocchio story, give or take a millennium or two, and insert robot for puppet, oops, marionette. Two tees. An irony of the so-called digital era is the proliferation of what may come to be known as “legacy volumes.” These are different from the coffee-table books of bygone times, which sought to catalogue in print what was by and large inaccessible by any other means. And they are different in other ways as well, in that they purport to disclose behind-the-scenes stories, and to present a composite view of process as well as product. Artificial Intelligence is such a book. An important one. » » (Check out archpaper.com for more) «-------less
