Abstract
The new book "Beyond Calculation: The Next Fifty Years of Computing," edited by the distinguished computer scientists Peter J. Denning and Robert M. Metcalfe, is a collection of 21 brilliant essays commissioned to celebrate a major milestone in technology: the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Association for Computing Machinery. In this interview with Educom Review, Denning talks about the making of this important and remarkable book, which The New York Times describes as having an "astonishing intellectual reach."
