Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?: Amazing Brain. Human Communication, Creativity and Free Will by James Tagg is a scientific treatise written in a wonderfully entertaining way that can reach the lay person. Are the Androids Dreaming Yet? is a book that explores the human mind and its capabilities through in-depth discussions about the brain, body language, the workings of the human mind, knowledge, the power and limitations of computers, and much more.

I was fascinated as soon as I saw the book cover and continued to be engrossed and interested while reading as I started to look at everyday things in a scientific way. I was also impressed at how easy it was to understand various scientific terms and explanations, and the credit for that goes to James Tagg for his ability to translate complex theories into a language that the lay person can relate to and appreciate. The subject is interesting and, at times, fascinating and it was a fun read for me. Overall, Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?: Amazing Brain. Human Communication, Creativity and Free Will by James Tagg is an extremely interesting book that almost reads like a wonderful story, except that it is all true.
