Written by Nobel Laureate Leon N. Cooper, this book places pressing scientific questions
in the broader context of how they relate to human experience. Widely considered to
be a highly original thinker, Cooper has written and given talks on a large variety
of subjects, ranging from the relationship between art and science, possible limits
of science, to the relevance of the Turing Test. These essays and talks have been
brought together for the first time in this fascinating book, giving readers an opportunity
to experience Cooper's unique perspective on a range of subjects. Tackling a diverse
spectrum of topics, from the conflict of faith and science to whether understanding
neural networks could lead to machines that think like humans, this book will captivate
anyone interested in the interaction of science with society"
