What people on Hacker News said
Introduced me to the idea of random walks leading to AI.
1970s depiction of an AI arising from whatever passed for the Internet back then.
As someone points out in the reviews here, this predates more famous depictions on similar subjects, like Wargames.
The Adolescence of P1 by Thomas Ryan is an old, yet amazing read!
