Earthlight. Good. 178mm / 111mm. Paperback. 1999. 345 pages. Cover worn<br>What an idea - the Museum of the Mind. A t the University of Wessex, Sir John Westgate and Dr Katharine Be ckford have spent ten years using computer power and AIs to creat e over 200 fictional characters from all periods of history, know n as 'erams', who interact with their questioners as a real perso n would. Soliders, parsons, dockers, even a Victorian tart with a heart. For Dr Beckford, it's a wonderful use of artificial intel ligence and a superb learning tool. For Sir John, it's a wonderfu l use of university funds and a superb way to make money (and gai n personal honours). Something was bound to go wrong. When a numb er of erams escape into the world's computer net, and become self aware, it seems that the outbreak can be contained - but life is never that simple. The university authorities should never have attempted to destroy them...--Page 4 of cover. ., Earthlight, 1999, 2.5<
