When H.A.R.L.I.E. Was One (Release 2.0),
By Donald Milne (Falkirk, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: WHEN HARLIE WAS ONE (Mass Market Paperback)
Simply one of the best pieces of speculative fiction I've ever read. It has flaws, but it still takes the breath away, the sheer audacity of its vision. Warning, this book will make you think and could change the way you see yourself and others...Once read, never forgotten. It's a crime it's out of print, track down a copy and see for yourself.

A wonderful, thought-provoking book,
By mathew (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: WHEN HARLIE WAS ONE (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the only book that's ever kept me awake all night, unable to stop reading until I got to the end. I think it was around 3am when I finally finished it. I don't usually re-read novels, but this was one of the rare exceptions, and I think it's due for a third reading some time soon.If you're at all interested in AI, the mystery of consciousness, and related ethical issues, then you have to read this book.

WHEN HARLIE WAS ONE,
By Shannon Roy - Published on Amazon.com
A superb and thoughful book - the "Version 2", which is hard to find is very much better than the "original" which feels a little dated these days.BTW The name HARLIE is an acronym which changes in the two versions of the book. In version 1 the acronym is for Human Analog Robot Life Input Equivalents. The last reviewer is dead wrong and actually gives away one of the key plot points and "jokes" of the book, so SPOILERS BELOW! You have been warned! 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful:

When H.A.R.L.I.E. Was One (Release 2.0),
By Peter B. Olson "science fiction reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: WHEN HARLIE WAS ONE (Mass Market Paperback)
I looked for a long time for "When Harlie Was Two" (a title promised in the book "When Harlie Was One"). Never found it.
There was a good reason! That book was never written. I finally found it at Worldcon 63 (Noreascon 4) in the huckster's room where I ran across the author himself at a booth selling "When Harlie Was One (Release 2.0)". It may be out of print, but it is not unavailable. Try his home page. http://www.gerrold.com/ 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful:
