The Society of Mind
From Publishers Weekly
Minsky, cofounder of MIT’s Artificial Intelligence Lab, is a charter member of the community of AI pioneers committed to understanding the workings of the human mind and mimicking its processes by computer. Here he takes his place as this generation’s Buckminster Fullera revered seminal thinker whose depth and originality sometimes place him out of reach for many. But Minsky’s difference is his style: he writes aphoristically, with wit and precision, and makes the most of his perception that the mind learns by images, which perform as agents that connect, interact and even “censor” in a staggeringly subtle “society” of microprocedures. This holistic view of the mind’s learning stages is the culmination of Minsky’s study, and its insights into the developing world of computers-as-machines are matched by paradoxically intuitive glimpses of the growth of a sense of “self” through introspection, short- and long-term memory, mind-frames utilizing pictures and language. Minsky’s creative terminology for freshly perceived mental processes is a major contribution to the future of mind-science. Illustrated. Major ad/promo; Macmillan Book Club alternate.
