Dormehl, Luke. Thinking Machines: The Quest for Artificial Intelligence and Where It’s Taking Us Next. New York, TarcherPerigee, 2017. This source is a non-fiction book. It was written for people that want to know more about AI, from its history to its present to its future. The purpose of the source is to inform the reader on what AI is about and the history and possible future of AI is. It contains mainly facts with analyzation of all the facts. It was very useful because it was very rich and full of information that I couldn’t find anywhere else, and I learned a lot about the history of AI from it. The book starts off with the beginnings of AI, and then it moves on to how the ideas of how to make AI changed. It then talks about how AI is actually already surrounding us in ways we don’t realize. Next, it talks about what AI will do to our jobs and concludes with the risks and future of AI. The whole theme of the book is that, although we are all scared of thinking machines, history tells us we shouldn’t worry. This was a non-fiction book that was completely factual. There was a line from the book that I very enjoyed, and it was, “[Machines are] sturdy, reliable, and promise never to call in sick at the last minute.”
