Review
"Growing up with Lucy takes the reader through Grand's work to date. He relates the pleasures and frustrations of working from home on a shoestring budget and explains his ideas about how the human brain functions... Grand's engaging style always carries you along. And Lucy is a fascinating project." NEW SCIENTIST "Growing up with Lucy is a long and chatty newsletter from the friendliest artificial intelligence researcher you could wish to meet." -- Graham Farmelo THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH "Fiercely dedicated and passionate about his subject... essential reading." FOCUS "never less than interesting" -- BRYAN APPLEYARD NEW STATESMAN "cheerfully self-deprecating but hugely inspiring." DAILY TELEGRAPH
Understanding what it is that makes us who we are has been the Holy Grail of researchers dating back to Aristotle. The ancient Greeks brought insights and pre-suppositions into the intelligence arena that have been little improved upon by the Artificial Intelligence community 2,500 years hence. Steve Grand is the exception. Unafraid to proclaim ignorance, unfazed by the logic deadlocks his probing questions lead him to, and willing to put experimental effort where his mouth is; he storms the windmills of existing paradigms and comes away with a fresh way of looking at fundamentals. In any other culture Steve Grand would be a research god, a free thinker who cuts across all disciplines. In today's hyper-conservative, AI research establishment he's a maverick. Yet he's a maverick with a clarity and freshness of voice that makes an awful lot of sense. Growing Up With Lucy will tell you as much about yourself as it will about Artificial Intelligence.(Kirkus UK)
