whole book is available online.
Picked it up out of the library earlier this week and was pretty much engrossed in it. Well-researched piece of historical fiction about a real 'automaton' that played chess against some bigwigs, including Ben Franklin, Napoleon, Maria Theresa, etc. Spoke well to my history-geek side. A/A-
Also, picked up a Joe Ollman book that's a collection of early stuff. The first story broke my heart. Looking forward to reading the rest.
