Profile Picture

Peter Crowther's "We Think, Therefore We Are" is compiled with several short stories about the trepidation of artificial intelligence. As there are many different authors with their own points-of-view, there are many emotions that this book evokes. From the demented machine that thinks on the same level as a schizophrenic, to the fastidious robot that would kill people if it would increase production / efficiency, this book has it all. Even religion and love are conquered, as artificial intelligences vainly try to find God or have compassion for others.
