"Overheard in the Park": A review of The Advent of the Algorithm, by David Berlinski. Reviewed by Martin Davis. American Scientist, July/August 2000, pages 366-367.
This review is presented in the form of an imaginary conversation among three contemporaries of Galileo. Over the course of the conversation, the reviewer's (mostly unfavorable) opinions about the book are revealed. For example, one of the three speakers says: "Although there is much of great interest in this book, not everyone will be attracted by the interspersed, apparently irrelevant fictions, and I personally was upset by carelessness with the history."
