The Bible and poetry

Abstract

Chinese Room) ‘What do you plan to do tomorrow?’ Spencer concludes by suggesting that this is a perspective that religions might bring to the debate on AI. Two thirds of the way through reading the book, I had lots of useful things to say about details of the treatment of Galileo, and they have gone by the board dealing with the rush of ideas at the end of the book. As it is, the urge to tell you more about all the interesting things in this book must be curtailed by my word limit, but please, read. It starts well, and gets even better. The only things I could wish improved are the index – reasonable, but there was so much I wanted to look up to cross-reference – and a few more stops to assess the history in the light of the key questions. But maybe that would have slowed the excitement down.
