'Du Sautoy's discussion of computer creativity is fascinating'Observer
CAN MACHINES BE CREATIVE
In The Creativity Code,Marcus du Sautoy examines the nature of creativity,asking how much of our emotional response to art is a product of our brains reacting to pattern and structure,and exactly what it is to be creative in mathematics,art,language and music.
Exploring how long it might be before machines compose a symphony or paint a masterpiece,and whether they might jolt us into being more imaginative in turn,The Creativity Code is a fascinating and very different exploration into the essence of what it means to be human.

'The Creativity Code is only partly a book about AI art. It is as much about how AI thinks and how it does mathematics - du Sautoy's own special subject. And on these topics,he is thoughtful and illuminating'The Times'Du Sautoy is (...) the light-bearer,illuminating not only the work of coders and creators,but the mathematics of chaos that underpin art and our emotional responses to it'Hans Ulrich Obrist
'Why could a machine one day not create a truly original work of art,write a moving poem,compose an opera or even discover a mathematical theorem The answers,in this compelling and thought-provoking book by mathematician and musician,Marcus du Sautoy,can be found by breaking down what it actually means to be creative'Jim Al-Khalili
'Fact-packed and funny,questioning what we mean by creative and unsettling the script about what it means to be human,The Creativity Code is a brilliant travel guide to the coming world of AI'Jeanette Winterson
'Fascinating book...if all the experiences,hopes,dreams,visions,lusts,loves and hatreds that shape the human imagination amount to nothing more than a "code",then sooner or later a machine will crack it. Indeed,Du Sautoy assembles an eclectic array of evidence to show how that's happening even now'The Times
