A Brief History of Intelligence

This book has easily become my favorite book in the past few years. The author is not your regular tech bro who thinks AI is the next big thing. He goes into the evolution of intelligence from the simplest form of life to human intelligence and compares it with how various digital automation and neural networks work.

If you thought this book was about computers, you'd be wrong. This book is about intelligence in mostly biological form and the human attempts to recreate it.
