Bradford Books: Moths to the Flame : The Seductions of Computer Technology (Hardcover)

Rawlins, who teaches artificial intelligence at Indiana University, educated by entertaining. His stories and anecdotes enliven and surprise us while increasing our awareness of technology itself as a player in the political and commerical climate of our times. Provocative yet balanced and sophisticated, Moths to the Flame offers an indispensable guide book to the future, presenting invaluable insights on such topics as virtual reality, computer networks, and computer catastrophes. In Moths to the Flame, the author takes us on a tour of the world wrought by modern technology, a technology he points out that is rooted deep inside the military: a technology that when applied to everyday life, may have startling results. Unlike space technology, today's technological race won't simply bring us Tang-flavoured Velcro.
