I just finished a book by K. Eric Drexler called _Engines of Creation_. In the book, Eric mentions a program developed by Douglas Lenat at Stanford University called EURISKO. The descriptions of EURISKO sounded fascinating. I was wondering if anyone out there in netland could tell me more about EURISKO and where I could get some information about the program. Is there a book!!?? ANY information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks....

Johnson's "Machinery of the Mind" for example has a chapter on AM and Eurisko. (NY Times Books, 1986). --JoSH]

See Lenat's "Why AM and Eurisko Appear to Work" in Bernado Huberman's "Computational Ecology". John Nagle [Huberman, Bernardo, ed: "The Ecology of Computation" Elsevier North-Holland: Amsterdam, 1988 Besides the above, contains three articles by Mark Miller and Eric Drexler. Highly reccommended. (Also highly expensive.) --JoSH]
