Fluid Concepts And Creative Analogies: Computer Models Of The Fundamental Mechanisms Of Thought
Customer reviews (10)
A fascinating book with an interesting Amazon twist
Read at the New York Society Library.
thought-provoking but slightly dated
In this book Hofstadter describes the research projects of his group, on attempting to model human thinking and problem solving.
The first book sold on Amazon!
Trivia: This was the first book sold by Amazon in 1995 July.
Fascinating!
As I am full fling into developing a new parallel computer architecture, this book is providing me with loads of insights.
15 years on, still relavant. We have a long way to go....
Hofstadter provides effectively a series of articles published elsewhere, edited in his engaging, verbose style.
Another piece of the puzzle
When I first starting reading \"Fluid Concepts\" I found myself puzzled; what, exactly, was Hofstader up to?
A serious read for AI wonks
I read this book when it first came out.
Too distant from my usual routes ...
Many books by D.
Wonderful but quite dry in parts
This book is, as others have commented, different from DH's other more entertaining books.
Novel approaches to artificial intelligence
This book has received some poor reviews and been unfairly compared to Hofstader's previous book, Goedel, Escher, Bach.
