This edition of the book club at Gray Area comes with a Midwestern flavor! In the article on our table, "Where the Turtles End," Kevin Hamilton examines the Adaptive Reorganizing Automaton (ARA), an experimental device developed at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Biological Computer Laboratory (BCL) in 1960, tracing how competing approaches to materiality in the history of computation illuminate a persistent tension among consciousness, embodiment, and control.
