Final Jeopardy : Man Vs. Machine And the Quest To Know Everything
by Stephen Baker

A couple of months ago, the quiz show Jeopardy had two of the game's all-time winners compete against a computer named Watson. After having watched the show on the three nights it aired, I discovered that a book was written about the whole process of building a super machine by IBM engineers.
It was much more fun watching the show than reading the book. The beginning chapters were interesting and funny and then downright blah. The writing is very dry. My interest left very quickly.
Not recommended.
