It is a fusion of scientific review, psychological analysis, personal memoir, and political manifesto. It works. … The erudition of the author is amazing. … There are plenty of endnotes that can be read almost as a parallel chapter to the main text. Each chapter has an extensive bibliography as well. This book is a job well done.” (Anthony J. Duben, Computing Reviews, October 9, 2023) Author InformationShimon Edelman holds degrees in electrical engineering and in computer science and is presently Professor in the Department of Psychology at Cornell University.
