Overview
Will a computer eventually be able to do everything a human can do? For decades, proponents of artificial intelligence have argued yes. In The Emperor's New Mind, eminent physicist Roger Penrose argues that there are facets of human thinking, of human imagination, that can never be emulated by a machine. Exploring a dazzling array of topics -- complex numbers, black holes, entropy, quasicrystals, the structure of the brain, and the physical processes of consciousness -- Penrose demonstrates that laws even more wondrously complex than those of quantum mechanics are essential for the operation of a mind.
