Two dialogues between
JOHN Rillie and EDWIN MORGAN Lecturers in the Department of English Glasgow University

Machines have already composed music and written verses which can be recognised as such. But can a machine have ' the flash of imagination built in '? Is machine creation merely the permutation of randomness and how does this relate to writing such as that of William Burroughs ? Most important, can there be a dialogue between man and machine? John Rillie and Edwin Morgan continue their argument about the potentialities of the computer in literature.
