December 2014


I am an inventor and have founded several companies. Over the years I have become very interested in what makes us creative and whether computers could acquire this skill.

There are lots of spiritual arguments to say humans are not just mechanistic but I wanted to know whether there is a hard scientific difference. I think I have found that essential difference in the work I have done and my first book explores this question.

I studied Physics and Computer Science at Manchester University, Design at Lancaster University and Engineering at Cambridge University. I live on a farm in Kent, England.

(Yes I had to look up the spelling of dyslexia.) I always wanted to be someone who 'has written a book' but I figured my dyslexia would make this impossible and I used to fear writing. It's a really good feeling to have achieved a life time ambition.(less)

Often I will settle down to tidy up some part of the book and end up writing something creative.(less)

Quotes by James Tagg  (?)

“The three years it takes to acquire ‘the knowledge’ and the subsequent years of navigating London’s complex streets give cabbies a 30% larger hippocampus than the average London resident.”
James Tagg, Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?: Amazing Brain. Human Communication, Creativity & Free Will

“There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don’t know we don’t know.”
James Tagg, Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?: Amazing Brain. Human Communication, Creativity & Free Will

“This is the outer surface of the brain where much of our thinking is done. Unfolded, this surface layer would cover the area of a football field”
James Tagg, Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?: Amazing Brain. Human Communication, Creativity & Free Will

“I came home from work one day and felt compelled to write a book about free will.”
