Robots Unlimited: Life in a Virtual Age

by David N.L. Levy

Consider Robots will one day be able to write poetry and prose so touching that it will make men weep; compose dozens or even hundreds of symphonies that will rival the work of Mozart; judge a court case with absolute impartiality and fairness; or even converse with the natural ease of your best friend. Robots will one day be so life-like that a human could fall in love and marry one. Thought provoking and controversial? Certainly. Far-fetched? Not at all. David Levy presents the history of Artificial Intelligence, considers recent developments, and speculates about the future of AI.

Did not finish. This book looks and sounds super interesting, but is so dense I just don't have the capacity to put the effort into it right now. It's written like a textbook and has a table of contents and appendix which are helpful.
