Artificial Minds

Rating:
Summary: Excellent introduction to the subject
Review: This is the perfect introduction for the lay reader who has more than a passing interest in AI. The author is able to explain issues in reasonable depth while keeping his explanations accessible. Some readers might find the author's digressions stray too far from the point at hand, but this reader doesn't fault the author, since the digressions are always fascinating. Comments, footnotes and biblio combine to give you a clear idea of what you'll want to read next.
