...aberration, but an almost logical outcome of a society that had fallen apart." Pisar observes. "My purpose was not so much to write an autobiography, but to establish a link between what I have lived and the new dangers--not only to tell myself what has happened but to transmit it to others who learn from history very, very badly...
...moments of consternation continued to the end. Sunday, after we thought all other arrangements had been made, we were checking to be sure that we were ready to transmit Iranian money from our Government depository to the Bank of England. Cutler whispered that there was no way to transfer the Iranian money: the Federal Reserve Bank of New York had no funds available.

It can (or will soon be able to) transmit and receive messages, "read" typescript, recognize voices, shapes and patterns, retain facts, send reminders, "talk" or mimic speech, adjust, correct, strategize, make decisions, translate languages. And; of course, it can calculate, that being its specialty. Yet there are hundreds of kinds of thinking that computers cannot come close to. And for those merely intent on regarding the relationship of man to machine as a head-to-artificial-head...
