It's a fine book if you want an introduction to Artificial Intelligence, it offers a brief view of our brain and how nowadays we attempt to replicate its structure with computers. But if you already know about the subject, you'll find it vague and some ideas may seem half-baked.
Good book. I removed a star because I thought it was going to be more than it was. I guess I thought it was not so much describe the way the brain works. And the accomplishments of current thought and actions and be more about the algorithms that are being used to mirror those processes.
Nonetheless, it is still a good book to read if one is deciding to go into Artificial Intelligence.
