Negative Positive
Title: I am not its target audience
Review: I put this book on the shelf last night about 2/3 done, it will not be finished. I have a back ground in controls engineering and physics simulation, and much of what the author talks about is very similar to these subjects (feedback-control, gain schedualling, non-linear systems, constrained optimization, multi agent interactions etc) yet there is absolutely no use of this body of knowledge. Also the 'style' used in the presented flow diagrams is pain full.From the word 'machine' in the title I had expected a book with at least a hint of pseudo code or math but got none. I think if you have 'cut metal' on anything related to making a computer do anything that a human can do you will not enjoy this book.
Is the review positive or negative?
