As someone who wasn't overly familiar with AI to begin with, this book was a rather dense read.

There were many ideas expressed in this that gave me a lot to think about, and truly admire. Bostram's in depth look at neurological structure and referencing that to the expression of super computers/intelligence was awe inspiring and has left me with wanting to look into the subject further. It is clear he is passionate about the topic, and put a great deal of effort in making sure the information was well researched and thoroughly expressed.

At times though, Bostram's writing got quite clunky, and was filled with terms and concepts that required a lot of referencing to really get the most out of his ideas. It's difficult for me to say whether that is my failing due to my limited understanding of the topic, or if it is a lack in clarity of the prose.
