Опцията на Тюринг I
1992
През 1950 г. англичанинът Алън М. Тюринг, един от пионерите на компютърната наука, се заел с въпроса дали някога ще има мислещи машини. Решил да започне от обикновения дигитален компютър: да увеличи паметта и скоростта му и чрез една подходяща програма да го накара да действа като човешки разум.
Знаменитият X. Харисън и М. Мински — известен специалист по ИИ (изкуствен интелект) — блестящо са обединили таланта си, за да „доразвият“ идеята на Тюринг чрез своя герой Брайън Делейни и да създадат един превъзходен фантастичен трилър.
