“The answer is in here” suggests the subtitle of this book!
Like its sibling title, ‘What’s the Big Idea: Artificial Intelligence’, this book was great fun to write. Working closely with the brilliant illustrator, Andrew McLynn, was a real pleasure, and explaining the history of attempts to make computers intelligent was a challenge I took on gladly. I enjoy humour, and this book has lots of it.
