The Turing Option (I read it back when it came out) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1807642.The_Turing_Option https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1807642.The_Turing_Optio... I need to consider giving it a re-read... I suspect I'll agree with the review for "books that were way better when I was 15" or "I read this when it was first published in 1992 and thought I would read it again in the light of the current AI hype. This was a silly decision." I think I'll more fondly reread When Harlie Was One Release 2.0 ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/939176.When_H_A_R_L_I_E_Was_One# https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/939176.When_H_A_R_L_I_E_... ) as that was more about people than about science papers. (btw, if you do get intrigued by David Gerrold (the author), his critique / alternate approach to Star Trek with the Star Wolf series is enjoyable) The "about science papers" criticism is also what I apply to several good books by Forward where significant parts of it felt like a paper with a plot rather than a story backed by science. Good stories otherwise, just sometimes they got lost to the attempt to force some hard science into it.
