Sounds interesting, but this is material for an AI list, not a list that discusses cryptography. Lou Poppler writes:
Reviewed in The New Yorker (August 21&28 issue) is the novel "Galatea 2.2" by Richard Powers, wherein a neural net is nurtured by an English Literature professor "to counterfeit human responses to the Master's Comprehensive Exam, which calls for the interpretation of set texts". The review makes me want to read this book.
