Garry Kasparov\'s 1997 chess match against the IBM supercomputer Deep Blue was a watershed moment in the history of technology.
Deep Thinking is a tightly argued case for technological progress, from the man who stood at its precipice with his own career at stake..
As many critics decry artificial Intelligence as a menace, particularly to Human jobs, Kasparov shows how humanity can rise to new heights with the help of our most extraordinary creations, rather than fear them.
Kasparov uses his unrivaled experience to look into the future of intelligent machines and sees it bright with possibility.
He describes how it felt to strategize against an implacable, untiring opponent with the whole world watching, and recounts the history of Machine Intelligence through the microcosm of chess, considered by generations of scientific pioneers to be a key to unlocking the secrets of Human and Machine cognition.
That moment was more than a century in the making, and in this breakthrough book, Kasparov reveals his astonishing side of the story for the first time.
It was the dawn of a new era in artificial intelligence: a Machine capable of beating the reigning Human champion at this most cerebral game.
