Baars interviews a group of key researchers in and around psychology at the time of the cognitive revolution. He gives us the researchers' own words, reporting the actual interviews. Along side the interviews he contextualizes and reviews the history of the cognitive revolution. It's a fun read if you are interested in cognitive psychology and/or cognitive science and want a bit of the history of the field.
