<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Describing the mind as a "society" that arises out of ever-smaller, mindless agents, each chapter corresponds to a single puzzle piece and a unified theory of the mind emerges before the eyes. Illustrated.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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? <br> Minsky brilliantly portrays the mind as a society of tiny components that are themselves mindless. Mirroring his theory, Minsky boldly casts <i>The Society of Mind</i> 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, <i>The Society of Mind</i> is an adventure in imagination.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Douglas Hofstadter author of <i>Gödel, Escher, Bach</i> and <i>Metamagical Themas</i> A stunning collage of staccato images, filled to the brim with witty insights and telling aphorisms.<br><br><i>San Jose Mercury News</i> SCATTERED WITH GEMS....Liable to be influential far beyond the narrow researches of artificial intelligence.<br><br><i>The New York Times Book Review</i> INGENIOUS...STIMULATING...crisp, packed with quips, aphorisms and homely illustrations.
