Book Description
Keith keeps reminding himself that Lib's not a real person; she's a virtual librarian-mere software. But evolutionary software, so she's developing a mind of her own. Keith's job and his marriage depend on Lib. And Lib is out of control. Keith meets people who claim they can influence computers from afar, by mental effort alone. The outcome is unexpected but satisfying, leaving us to ponder the problems and possibilities we'll face as machines develop minds-and agendas.
