A working theory of love / Scott Hutchins. by Hutchins, Scott. The Penguin Press, c2012. Call #: FICTION HUT Subjects Artificial intelligence -- Fiction.   Electronic data processing -- Data entry -- Fiction.   Divorced men -- Fiction.   Fathers and sons -- Fiction.   Interpersonal relations -- Fiction.   Suicide victims -- Fiction.   San Francisco (Calif.) -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781594205057 Description:  328 p. ; 24 cm. Summary:  When Neill's father committed suicide ten years ago, he left behind thousands of pages of secret journals, journals that are stunning in their detail, and, it must be said, their complete banality. But their spectacularly quotidian details, were exactly what artificial intelligence company Amiante Systems was looking for, and Neill was able to parlay them into a job, despite a useless degree in business marketing and absolutely no experience in computer science. He has spent the last two years inputting the diaries into what everyone hopes will become the world's first sentient computer. Essentially, he has been giving it language--using his father's words. Alarming to Neill--if not to the other employees of Amiante--the experiment seems to be working. The computer actually appears to be gaining awareness and, most disconcerting of all, has started asking questions about Neill's childhood. Genre:  Psychological fiction. Science fiction. First novel.
