The Emperor's New Mind

Can machines think? Is the human brain just a digital computer running a clever algorithm? In 'The Emperor's New Mind', Sir Roger Penrose, one of the world's most famous scientists, takes us on an adventure of the mind. He draws on a vast array of topics including quantum mechanics, philosophy, and mathematics to make a compelling argument against the idea that humans are just biological machines. Containing many fascinating insights and thought-provoking questions, this essential read challenges our assumptions and offers a fresh perspective on the nature of computation, the limits of artificial intelligence, and the mystery of human consciousness.
