The society of mind

Marvin Minsky-one of the fathers of computer science and cofounder of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT--gives a revolutionary answer to the age-old question: 'How does the mind work?' Minsky brilliantly portrays the mind as a 'society' of tiny components that are themselves mindless. Mirroring his theory, Minsky boldly casts The Society of Mind as an intellectual puzzle whose pieces are assembled along the way. Each chapter--on a self-contained page--corresponds to a piece in the puzzle. As the pages turn, a unified theory of the mind emerges, like a mosaic. Ingenious, amusing, and easy to read, The Society of Mind is an adventure in imagination. - Book Cover
