I read parts of this book, thinking highly of it. I thought one particular passage from it, as quoted in Gates by Stepehen Manes and Paul Andrews, particulary stood amid the limelight: [t]he computer programmer . . . is a creator of universes for which alone is the lawgiver. . . .No playwright, no stage director, no emperor, however powerful, has ever exercised such absolute authority to arrange a stage of field a battle and to command such unswervingly dutiful actors or troops.

This is perhaps the best book ever written on issues of computer technology and modern life, in the sense that it says a lot of really important things and is also very readable by both lay persons and technical persons. People like Jacques Ellul, Arnold Gehlen et al. have written very important texts in this area, but are much less "accessible". If the truth only counts when it is absorbed by persons, Weizenbaum's book stands out as being engrossing and a pleasure to read, as well as saying what needs to be said. It is very sad that the second edition which was supposed to be out a year or so ago has not appeared. But in no way has 20 years "dated" the present text. _Computer Power and Human Understanding_ explains why we have such problems as Y2K, etc.

An authority in the field of artificial intelligence and computer science in
general, Joseph Weizenbaum provides insight in proceedings in that area but
mainly warns about what these developments may lead to. It is very
entertaining to read this book some 20 years after original publication and see how
many of what we believe are recent developments were actually implemented
back then already (on one or two priceless "super" computers).
Very dogmatic and patronizing at times, it still is a good read if only for
the thought provoking ideas like: if electronic computers would have been
used in the manhattan project, today we would assume that development of the
atomic bomb would have been impossible without it.
