Paul Petrucci
Paul Petrucci is an information technologist by day and a
writer by
night. Like his protagonist in Prodigal Logic, he
lives on a
floating home in Seattle, a short kayak trip from the
University of
Washington campus.
The premise for a thinking computer evolved from his work
with
expert systems (a branch of artificial intelligence). The
question
"what would happen if a computer could solve a mystery"
turned to
"what would happen if it worked too well."
Many of the other themes of the novel arose directly from
Paul's
personal pursuits. He enjoys European history and
architecture, and
especially loves searching for "old stones" -- that is,
cathedrals,
forts and castles. His interest in philosophy and
metaphysics brings
perpetual delight to himself and perpetual frustration to
his wife
Astrid. And he has had an interest in Psychology since his
undergraduate days as a Psyche major at the University of
Maryland.
