Imagining the Internet: Personalities, Predictions, Perspectives
Within the early Nineteen Nineties, humans expected the loss of life of privateness, an finish to the present idea of "property," a paperless society, 500 channels of high-definition interactive tv, global peace, and the extinction of the human race after a takeover engineered by way of clever machines. Imagining the web zeroes in on predictions concerning the Internet's destiny and revisits previous predictions--and how they became out--to positioned that imagined destiny in viewpoint.

Sample text
It starts with the squares in front of the starting position of the two key pawns followed by the squares either side of those, before moving back to look at the squares where the key pawns begin the game. Once you've worked through this list, you may well want to modify this sequence. This array, more than any other, determines the kind of game the computer will play. If you don't agree with the sequence I've set up, by all means change it and see what effect this has on the game the computer plays.

First it goes to the subroutine from line 350 which checks to see if the intended destination square is under attack. On returning from that destination it checks (line 1850) to see if MM is equal to one. If it is, the computer knows the move it is considering has been approved, and so moves to the section of code which actually makes the move. If Y is greater than 20, which means 20 moves have been tried without success, then this also triggers a return, so a new piece can be tried. If both these conditions are found to be false, the computer goes back to line 1800 to get a new knight move at random.
