A CD-ROM as original as its author. Minsky's theories come to life as the visionary thinker walks, talks, and jumps across the page. Demonstrating how we recognize everyday objects, Minsky hoists an apple as big as a Volkswagen. A whimsical tour of his living room gives an intimate view of the inventor's sensibility and achievements. Dozens of other explorations invite us into a dialogue with Minsky's ideas and the wit, charm, and soaring intelligence that inform them. Each essay in The Society of Mind is a piece of a puzzle, and their sum is a unified and ingenious theory of how the mind works. Features more than one hundred minutes of original QuickTime video, the full text of The Society of Mind, plus a selection of Minsky's best articles, an interactive tour of Minsky's living room and a video timeline. |
