First Person: Marvin Minsky - The Society of Mind
As Voyager has done with previous books-to-CD-ROM titles, The Society of Mind is chock full of content. The full text of Minsky's book is here, and it is fully searchable, indexed, cross-referenced, and hyper-linked to supplementary materials. Animations and video clips, often of Minsky himself, help clarify concepts that are hard to visualize in prose. As a bonus, the CD-ROM contains a neat "inside Minsky's living room" section that gives an intimate look at various objects Minsky's office and living room, narrated by Minsky himself.
The Society of Mind is a must-have title for anyone with even the slightest interest in artificial intelligence. Students of computer science and cognitive psychology will find much to explore and digest here, and laymen like myself will be drawn toward a plausible answer to an age-old question: how does our mind work? Two thumbs up, way up.
