Michael O'Mara

Michael O'Mara Books is a family-run, independent trade publisher based in London, United Kingdom. Home to imprints LOM ART and Buster Books.

In July 1985 Michael O’Mara Books published its first book. At that time the firm’s only two employees were Mr. and Mrs. O’Mara and the offices were the spare bedroom of their semi-detached Clapham house, it was, quite literally, a Mom and Pop business.

Now, after thirty years of publications, with a backlist of a thousand titles, it is still a family firm, producing one hundred and fifty new books a year. Succeeding as an independent in a publishing world dominated by vast, multinational conglomerates is not easy but it is fun.

This is a classic AI heuristic (rule of thumb) that says if you can assign scores to your own moves and the moves of your opponent, and look ahead a few moves, then you should pick the moves that result in the best score for yourself to maximize your chances of winning while minimizing the chances of your opponent winning.
