High Compression: Information, Intimacy, and the Entropy of Life

He was named “The Most Human Human” at the 2009 Türing Test, and an excerpt from his new book by that name (Doubleday, 2011) is the cover story of the March 2011 Atlantic. Born in Wilmington, Delaware, Christian holds degrees in philosophy, computer science, and poetry from Brown University and the University of Washington. He lives in Seattle. (updated 2/2011)
