The paper itself doesn't focus on Machine Learning / AI or anything too specific for that matter (it reads like a review / praise of LISPs), but I am currently researching Symbolic Artificial Intelligence as well as let's say the history of "Good Old-Fashioned Artificial Intelligence" and the role LISP took in all of that.

Any books / papers / articles that one should definitely read on these topics?

One of the classics, now available on Github: Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programminghttps://github.com/norvig/paip-lisp
If you’re also interested in the history and evolution of lisp please see _The Evolution of Lisp_: http://dreamsongs.com/Files/HOPL2-Uncut.pdf

I've only read part, but https://ai.stanford.edu/~nilsson/QAI/qai.pdf seems pretty comprehensive.
