(NASDAQ: APPN) today announced the publication of

HYPERAUTOMATION features a Foreword by legendary chess
grandmaster, former World Chess Champion, writer, and political

how the human/machine connection have evolved from his historic
battles with Deep Blue to today. He states in his Foreword:
"The human mind is an unmatched analogy engine, able to apply
experience and new information to new circumstances almost
instantly. Machines can't do this themselves—not yet—but with our
guidance, they can help feed our insatiable appetite for
ever-greater agility."
