About this book
Four early calculating machines, built between 1942 and 1946, are explained for ordinary readers by Edmund Callis Berkeley: the differential analyzer of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard's IBM automatic sequence-controlled calculator, the Moore School's ENIAC, and a general-purpose relay calculator from Bell Laboratories. The first chapter asks whether a machine can think. Side chapters deal with language and symbols, the human brain and nervous system, a little algebra and logic, and what such machines may mean for society. The first printing came out in 1949.
