Description
For many decades, the proponents of `artificial intelligence' have maintained that computers will soon be able to do everything that a human can do. In his bestselling work of popular science, Sir Roger Penrose takes us on a fascinating tour through the basic principles of physics, cosmology, mathematics, and philosophy to show that human thinking can never be emulated by a machine.Oxford Landmark Science books are 'must-read' classics of modern science writing which have crystallized big ideas, and shaped the way we think.

A Popular science Classic
When I first encountered the book in my college library, I brushed it aside as I had heard of Roger Penrose as a famous theoretical Cosmologist and disingenousness of him writing a popular science book put me off from reading it (Martin Gardner, in preface also states this). But curiosity got better off me, I was hooked when I read the first chapter - where such fundamental questions as What is mind? Do computers think? What is intelligence? are all discussed with such ease that we fail to gr...

This is a great mathematical book, which goes deep into many mathematical and philosophical ideas.I was 17 when i first picked it up at a library and this book was my introduction to many mathematical concepts and quantum mechanics.
The basic premise of the author in this book is that human consciousness cannot be simulated computationally.his hypothesis that the human brain is a quantum-mechanical structure is very interisting.
Not an easy read, but definitely worth going through.

Shipment service was good by Flipkart.
The book is all about debate between human mind and information technology I.e. 'can information technology surpass human mind?'
It's a bit boring ..full of theories but intresting for those who have interest in human brain.
