Description or summary of the book: Each year, the AI community convenes to administer the famous (and famously controversial) Turing test, pitting sophisticated software programs against humans to determine if a computer can 'think.' The machine that most often fools the judges wins the Most Human Computer Award. But there is also a prize, strange and intriguing, for the 'Most Human Human.' Brian Christian-a young poet with degrees in computer science and philosophy-was chosen to participate in a recent competition. This playful, profound book is not only a testament to his efforts to be deemed more human than a computer, but also a rollicking exploration of what it means to be human in the first place.
