Blurb

The Computer That Said Steal Me is a 1983 Elizabeth Levy book about a boy who wants to get a chess computer in order to compete with his friends, but feels he must steal it because his parents cannot afford it. He devises a rather ingenious means of making the theft, but after the act is consummated, he is overcome with guilt and paranoia, similar to Raskolnikov in Crime and Punishment.
