I love this book and have it sitting on my shelf right now! Read it when I was a kid and was amazed at the ideas in it, nowadays it's clearer to me that the author only had a grasp of how things like that would be built but still cool nonetheless.

I would highly recommend it to people who love a good "near future" scifi book.

I'm sure you know this, but I think "the author" Marvin Minsky should be mentioned by name since he was one of the foundational theorists in the field of AI in general, but particularly in NNs.
