He was determined to explore the mysteries of the human soul. Like all other first year college students.Having outgrown his highschool fascination with battlebots, he rescues an arcade fortune telling machine and converts it into the foundation for an artificial intelligence that can read tarot cards and win money playing a new computer game.Gerry does not intend to find the Singularity, nor to become the Victor Frankenstein of robotics, but his work in embodied cognition takes an unexpected turn.
