Creativity is a topic that has traditionally interested
psychologists, historians, and biographers. In recent years,
developments in cognitive science and artificial intelligence have
provided a powerful computational framework in which creativity can
be studied and the creative process can be described and explained.
In this book, creativity in technology is discussed within such a
computational framework. Using an important historical episode in
computer technology as a case study, namely, the invention of
microprogramming by Maurice Wilkes in 1951, the author presents a
plausible explanation of the process by which Wilkes may have
arrived at his invention. Based on this case study, the author has
also proposed some very general hypotheses concerning creativity
that appear to corroborate the findings of some psychologists and
historians and then suggests that creative thinking is not
significantly different in nature from everyday thinking and
reasoning. This book should be of interest to all those interested
in creativity, including cognitive scientists, historians and
philosophers of science, historians and philosophers of technology,
and artificial intelligence researchers. It should also appeal to
the general reader.
