"A fascinating, highly subjective blast from a maverick enthusiast with a relish for irritating academics." (DAILY TELEGRAPH)
"his account of the pain, expense and occasional rewards he experienced while raising his "daughter" though still complicated and provocative, is refreshingly personal and avuncular." (INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY)
'The first time I created life, I did it the easy way... this time I'm attempting to make a baby the hard way: one piece at a time.' Artificial intelligence is the Holy Grail for many scientists. But will we ever be able to build machines that can bring together the knowledge, skills and ideas that would be needed to make up a complete human being? This was the question that fascinated Steve Grand when he decided to set about building 'Lucy'. Called an unscientific charlatan by some, a naive fool by others, this 'self-taught tinkerer' deliberately eschewed large public grants and laboratory affiliations to give himself as much freedom as possible to pursue his revolutionary ideas. In this compelling story of perseverance and despair, of frustration and elation, we live through the birth pains as Steve Grand defies the scientific establishment to create one of the most advanced robots in existence.
