Automats and Artificial Intelligence
CNN have a review of Tom Standages book The Turk about Kempelen's famous chess playing automat. More information on the Turk book site and on Tom Standages site. All of which reminded me that I'd always wanted to read another of his books, The Victorian Internet which chronicles the introduction of the telegraph network and compares it with the growth of the internet in our own times.
