This book describes artificial intelligence in a way that stresses its human relevance. I have used plain language as far as possible, and have
entirely avoided mathematical and formal symbolisms. No specific expertise is presupposed, although readers with psychological or philosophical interests will find many points relating to already familiar issues. In particular, I have not assumed any previous acquaintance with artificial intelligence, nor even any knowledge of programming. So that the reader may gradually develop a sense of what a program is and what a computer can do with it, I have tried to describe programs that do interesting things in a way that allows an understanding of these matters to deepen progressively throughout the book. Later chapters build on earlier ones in the sense that they may continue discussion of examples introduced previously, so the book is best read as a whole, from beginning to end.
