Machine Learning - Paperback

by Francisco Mendoza (Author)

When his estranged, alcoholic father is diagnosed with liver cancer, computer scientist Jorge dreams up a nursing app to manage the disease in his stead.

As the machine's capabilities grow, however, the possibility of leaving it in charge of the treatment becomes more real, forcing Jorge to reckon with his

responsibilities as a son and as a creator. Dealing with issues of immigration, legacy, and life dreams, Machine Learning explores what it means to be

children and what it means to be parents.
