Computers were designed to think faster than the human mind. But solving mathematical equations and retaining dizzying amounts of information are minor achievements compared to the processing ...more

Not the best collection of science fiction short stories, and probably not the best collection of stories to represent artificial intelligence. Overall the stories felt good, but not great and only loosely representative of "sentient machines"...my favorite story, Roger Zelazny's "Halfjack," what is also the shortest, but felt the strongest and the most powerful story of AI in the entire anthology.
Excellent collection of short stories about Artificial Intelligences.
Recommended for teen + due to language and adult situations.
