Summary: A masterful work with honest knowledge and answers to LIFE !
Review: "Sensitive By Nature" After seeing James V. Luisi's book and hearing about it the time seemed right to purchase a signed copy or two and embark on a leisurely book adventure. What this book has done is to put into words so eloquently what I have experienced in my life.
James V. Luisi has nailed the basic principal of the challenges AI imposed both morally and empirically. I can see this book being brought into the use of Universities, think tanks as well as individuals wanting to digest a cohesive start to finish understanding of the very world that we live in and the people who have and are manipulating it.
The intellectual level that one must posses to fully comprehend and truly utilize this book is staggering. If the individual possesses the basic knowledge needed to comprehend the book they will enjoy a masterful work. If however they are deficient and read chapter by chapter and take the time to reason and comprehend each chapter then they will have read "SBN" the way it should be read.
One chapter at a time is how the reader learns and like a puzzle starts putting the parts together each at their own pace. The object I believe is to comprehend in total all the esoteric as well as the obvious statements and facts and that's where the love of knowledge comes in. If someone loves honest knowledge and the subject of life not just AI then he or she will have found a winner in "Sensitive by Nature" as I did. John D. Zuccarino

Summary: A Very Interesting Perspective
Review: As a person interested in expanding my horizons and one who enjoys reading not only what educates but also what fascinates, I found this book to be real mental tickler. It makes one stop to think after many of its passages to ponder some of the subjects to which only cursory thought had been applied previously. Choose for yourself to agree or disagree with some of the theories and concepts analyzed in the book, but take the time to read this one!

Summary: The Truth Will Amaze You!
Review: James Luisi has written the most definitive text ever of the future of technology, psychology, education, and intelligence. This well, researched, intensely focused book will take you places no book ever has. The truth about science and technology and where we are headed, or could be headed, should be a matter of concern to everyone. Luisi will take you to places your mind never imagined it could go, and then some. This is not just a read; it is a journey. A journey that explores time, space, information, science, education, morals, values, and religion in ways you won't comprehend until you take this ride. You'll know you've arrived when you finish this book for the fifth time and still can't get enough. If you think we've reached our potential as humans and the way we explore possibilities, you may be right. If you think technology can't out-think us, well, you may be wrong. Enjoy the ride!

Summary: Intrigued by Asimov's three laws of robotics?
Review: Just as science fiction stories about space travel became reality when man traveled to the moon, the great robotic works take a step toward reality in Jim Luisi's Sensitive by Nature. A humorous pair of neuron characters guide you through the evolution of the human brain to uncover the fundamental constructs needed to support artificial intelligence. But what is really needed to achieve "thinking"? A self-aware robot subject is used to illustrate the most important components of cognitive science, providing new insight into human interactions. To tantalize those that have dreamed of tinkering with robots, the book describes a conceptual model for achieving intelligent processes through automation, minus the techie jargon.
A very enjoyable and entertaining approach to presenting what some might consider a very dry and technical subject. A must read for AI and robot funatics.
