The monograph by the famous physicist and mathematician Roger Penrose is devoted to the study of the problem of artificial intelligence based on a comprehensive analysis of the achievements of modern sciences. Is it possible to simulate the mind? To find the answer to this question, Penrose discusses a wide range of phenomena: algorithmization of mathematical thinking, Turing machines, complexity theory, Gödel's theorem, teleportation of matter, paradoxes of quantum physics, entropy, the birth of the Universe, black holes, the structure of the brain and much more. The book will undoubtedly provoke interest both among specialists in the humanities and natural sciences, as well as among a wide range of readers.
