Aaron's Code: Meta-Art, Artificial Intelligence and the Work of Harold Cohen

Rating:
Summary: Excellent source of information about Aaron
Review: This is a very good book. McCorduck is an excellent writer (I also recommend her "Machines Who Think") who tackles the fascinating area of AI art. Information about the art-generating program Aaron is hard to come by and this book is the best source I've encountered so far. The history of Harold Cohen is a fascinating read.

I would have liked to have seen coverage of more AI art makers, but perhaps Aaron is the only one worth considering. For more on AI art in general, see Boden's "The Creative Mind."

Way to go Pamela!
