PicturePamela McCorduck, Author
Author Pamela McCorduck, PWR's January author of the month, held a book launch party on January 23rd at the Stanley Dollar Clubhouse in Rossmoor. McCorduck is the author of “This Could Be Important: My Life and Times with the Artificial Intelligentsia”. 
 
McCorduck wrote the first modern history of artificial intelligence, Machines Who Think, and spent much time pulling on the sleeves of public intellectuals, trying in futility to suggest that artificial intelligence could be important. Memoir, social history, group biography of the founding fathers of AI, This Could Be Important follows the personal story of one AI spectator, from her early enthusiasms to her mature, more nuanced observations of the field.
