4.0 out of 5 stars Robots: Machines in Man's Image By: Isaac Asimov, Dec 19 2003
By Jesse Cain (Cincinnati, OH USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Robots: Machines in Mans Image (Hardcover)
This book talked about everything I needed to know about robots. It covered everything from the creation of robotics till' the engineers who have created them. It gave me a complete and total history all the way back to the early 1700's. This book was entertaining, yet educational at the same time. Once I read the first chapter I didn't want to put it down. I really didn't know that robots had evolved that fast, but by reading this I know that robots can control a lot more than I ever thought. This book even covered the modern day goal, creating artificial intelligence. The famous book Frankenstein started a lot of beliefs of creating artificial intelligence. There certain reasons why we haven't been able to create A.I. yet one of the main factors are because, a brain is extremely complex. The human brain contains 10 billion neutrons and up to ten times as many supporting cells. After reading this book I think the most interesting thing was the engineer, from the 1700's, Jacques de Vaucanson's creation. He had created a mechanical duck that could quack, bathe, drink water, eat grain, and the digest. He had used it to try to collect money for him trying to create A.I. But I recommend this book to everyone who really is into the history of technology, because I found it a really easy read and it doesn't make you think too much because it has already given you all the information.
