The Machine That Won the War
Book • 1961
The story takes place after a successful war against the Denebians, where three influential leaders discuss the role of the supercomputer Multivac in their victory.
Each leader reveals that they did not trust Multivac's outputs and instead relied on their own intuition or even chance (in the case of Lamar Swift, who made decisions by flipping a coin).
The tale highlights the irony that despite the advanced technology, human intuition and luck were the actual factors in winning the war.
