Finally a book that provides much needed context in which to understand the development of Artificial Intelligence, including how the field got its name.

To anyone who wants to have a basic understanding of the field's history, of the starting building blocks. Understanding how things began and what those building blocks were (including developments from the 1950s up until the 2020s) provides a great base to build upon.
