Have You Ever Had Breakfast with Sophia Loren? (Electronic book text)

Never having had breakfast with Sophia Loren, David Moss sets out on a journey from Plato to Bjorn Lomborg, with a long pit stop at Willard Van Orman Quine. Why would anybody do that? To try to put the intelligence back into artificial intelligence. Obviously. Is this an academic work of philosophy? Is it a technical manual on object orientation? Yes. This is the first essay in that region somewhere between philosophy and computing that the world has seen. Put it this way - if you can get past the first scene, you'll have a ball.
