3.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational and Insightful, 19 Mar 2009
By D. Traskas (Andover, Hampshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is a book that has to be read by researchers in AI or other disciplines. It is inspirational and gives a glimpse of what is going on in John Holland's mind. However there are many more ideas that came out the last few years that overtake what is written here. Still it is worth buying and reading.
