Prologue -- Can a computer have a mind? -- Algorithms and Turing Machines -- Mathematics and Reality -- Truth, Proof, and Insight -- The Classical World -- Quantum Magic and Quantum Mystery -- Cosmology and the Arrow of Time -- In Search of Quantum Gravity -- Real brains and Model Brains -- Where Lies the Physics of the Mind? -- Epilogue.

Summary: "For many decades, the proponents of `artificial intelligence' have maintained that computers will soon be able to do everything that a human can do. In his bestselling work of popular science, Sir Roger Penrose takes us on a fascinating tour through the basic principles of physics, cosmology, mathematics, and philosophy to show that human thinking can never be emulated by a machine."--
