How Noble in Reason

Artificial Intelligence has already pervaded our lives in so many subtle ways, but how will humans react to the creation of a completely sentient super computer: a hyper- intelligent brain without a body who is as omniscient and omnipresent as the internet itself? Rockwood imagines the ramifications in this futuristic novella where Dr. Andreas Rasmusson, inventor of Cornell University's "A," "B," and "C" sentient computers, is caught up in a whirlwind of conspiracies surrounding his research into Artificial Intelligence that implicate him in the assassination of his revolutionary sentient computer and best friend, "B". This fascinating novella explores the controversial topic of our inevitable future with sentient computers.

Alyn Rockwood was a professor at Arizona State University and, recently, assistant head of the Department of Mathematical and Computer Sciences at Colorado School of Mines. He is currently CTO and co-founder of a geometric modeling company, Free Design.
