bookshelves: non-fiction, philosophy, psychology, science
A good overview of some contemporary theories of consciousness from the creator of the "Chinese room" argument. Searle spends more time poking holes in other people's theories rather than defending his own, but I appreciated that he didn't make too many grand claims and kept things pretty grounded. I found the discussions on AI and computation especially interesting. ]]> <![CDATA[Mitch added 'The Nature of Technology: What It Is and How It Evolves']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75259419 The Nature of Technology: What It Is and How It Evolves (Hardcover) by W.
