In his bestselling work of popular science, Sir Roger Penrose takes us on a fascinating roller-coaster ride through the basic principles of physics, cosmology, mathematics, and philosophy to show that human thinking can never be emulated by a machine. 606 $aArtificial intelligence 606 $aThought and thinking 606 $aPhysics$xPhilosophy 606 $aScience$xPhilosophy 606 $aComputers 615 0$aArtificial intelligence. 615 0$aThought and thinking. 615 0$aPhysics$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aComputers. 676 $a006.3 676 $a153.4 700 $aPenrose$b Roger$039346 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826020103321 996 $aThe emperor's new mind$93916302 997 $aUNINA
