Melbourne, Australia -- Blondie24: Playing at the Edge of AI, written by Dr. David Fogel, CEO of Natural Selection, Inc.^®, was reviewed in the July 2002 issue of PC Update, the magazine of the Melbourne PC User Group. Major Keary wrote the very favorable review, stating: “A book that anyone should be able to read and understand, Blondie24: Playing at the Edge of AI, is a deceptively small title that is unlikely to catch one's eye, which is a pity. It deserves to be widely read…The first part of the book discusses AI in language that is meaningful to lay readers, and which offers fascinating insights to teachers and students of computer science. Draughts [checkers] aficionados will find the discussions illuminating and useful. However, it is the author's engaging explanations of evolutionary computing and neural networks, and how they have been used for a real-world application, that will capture the interest of lay readers with an interest in AI.” The complete review can be read by clicking here
