I've only just started reading the book, but allow me to whet your appetite with this opening line from the book:
There are two ways to win the Turing Test. The hard way is to build computers that are more and more intelligent, until we can’t tell them apart from humans. The easy way is to make humans more stupid, until we can’t tell them apart from computers. The purpose of this book is to help us avoid that second path. ~ Alan Blackwell
The advance public release of the book is also available for download in a variety of formats, including markdown, epub, pdf, LaTex, etc.
