5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best AI book available., 31 Oct 2008

By	N. Ryall - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book will boggle your mind as it describes every aspect of the human psychological model in detail. It is quite a lot to take in but Marvin Minsky really knows his stuff with a long career in NASA's Robotics devision. Definitely worth the read if you have any vague interest in the mind or artificial intelligence.
