About the book

In the second edition of this successful and highly regarded supplementary text, Randall Collins has revised his preface and added a new chapter in which he considers how sociology can inform the development of artificial intelligence. As he points out, computer designers and programmers have to consider the social as well as psychological characteristics of human beings in designing computers that can approximate human thinking.
