FACSIMILE
Dr. Dan Grimes was the most sought after computer scientist on the planet. Bill Gates had tried, unsuccessfully, to buy his mind with millions. But wealth didn't motivate Grimes. A minimalist in everything, he lived frugally. Artificial intelligence alone motivated him. He wanted to take AI the next quantum leap. He wanted to train the computer to think, to create, to solve, to function more magnificently than a thousand Einsteins. MIT believed in him. They'd funded him now for ten years. Asked for nothing. No objectives. No project milestones. Nothing. MIT believed. Believed that Grimes's genius would eventually repay them beyond the wildest dreams of even the most far-out thinkers in their renowned research department.
