Title: Tough going, but worth the effort.
Review: I started to say I "enjoyed" this book, but it seems to be this is not the type of book that one "enjoys." I have read everything of James P. Hogan's work I could get my hands on, and he is one of my top two or three favorite writers. This is non-fiction, but it reflects the same clear and interesting style of his fiction. I would say that this book is not for a casual reader, nor was it intended as a textbook, though at some points it may seem that way. Artificial intelligence is a very interesting and widely misunderstood subject, and perhaps the greatest value of this book is in exploding some of the myths about AI. This is not a quick, easy read, but for the layman who wants to learn more about AI, it is well worth the time and effort involved in reading it.
