vce500 's review for:
The MANIAC
by BenjamÃn Labatut
Engrossing exploration of the (occasionally flawed) intellect of various mathematicians and computer scientists, plus an outline of the meandering stepping stones that led us to(wards) artificial intelligence. Culminates with Deep Blue, which is a wild story (particularly at the time), and then pretty quickly and completely dunks on that story with the AlphaGo vs. Lee Sedol story. Goose-bump inducing at the end for me. Immediately on the Favorites list.
