At the dawn of the personal computing age, Understanding Artificial Intelligence arrives as an essential primer for anyone curious about the machines that were beginning to reshape the modern world. Written by Paul Y. Gloess and published as part of the Alfred Handy Guide series, this compact yet comprehensive volume introduces readers to the foundational concepts behind computers that think — unpacking the science, logic, and emerging technology that would go on to define the late 20th and 21st centuries. Gloess presents complex ideas in an accessible, straightforward style, making this guide an ideal entry point for novices and enthusiasts alike. The work chronicles the early ambitions of AI researchers, details the theoretical frameworks underpinning machine intelligence, and instructs readers on how these systems mimic human reasoning. A fascinating historical artefact as much as an educational text, it leaves the reader wondering just how far the thinking machines have come — and how much further they have yet to go.
