 A masterful work with honest knowledge and answers to LIFE! After seeing James V. Luisi's book and hearing about it the time seemed right to purchase a signed copy or two and embark on a leisurely book adventure. What this book has done is to put into words so eloquently what I have experienced in my life. |

James V. Luisi has nailed the basic principal of the challenges AI imposed both morally and empirically. I can see this book being brought into the use of Universities, think tanks as well as individuals wanting to digest a cohesive start to finish understanding of the very world that we live in and the people who have and are manipulating it.
The intellectual level that one must posses to fully comprehend and truly utilize this book is staggering. If the individual possesses the basic knowledge needed to comprehend the book they will enjoy a masterful work. If however they are deficient and read chapter by chapter and take the time to reason and comprehend each chapter then they will have read "SBN" the way it should be read. One chapter at a time is how the reader learns and like a puzzle starts putting the parts together each at their own pace. The object I believe is to comprehend in total all the esoteric as well as the obvious statements and facts and that's where the love of knowledge comes in. If someone loves honest knowledge and the subject of life not just AI then he or she will have found a winner in "Sensitive by Nature" as I did. John D.

The Truth Will Amaze You! James Luisi has written the most definitive text ever of the future of technology, psychology, education, and intelligence. This well, researched, intensely focused book will take you places no book ever has. The truth about science and technology and where we are headed, or could be headed, should be a matter of concern to everyone. Luisi will take you to places your mind never imagined it could go, and then some. This is not just a read; it is a journey. A journey that explores time, space, information, science, education, morals, values, and religion in ways you won't comprehend until you take this ride. You'll know you've arrived when you finish this book for the fifth time and still can't get enough. If you think we've reached our potential as humans and the way we explore possibilities, you may be right. If you think technology can't out-think us, well, you may be wrong. Enjoy the ride!

Informative and insightful... a must read. For anyone interested in scientific concepts, this book is a surprisingly entertaining learning experience better than any psychology course I've ever taken or book I've ever read. The author makes a number of complex subjects easy to understand, and pushes ideas into fascinating new territory. I recommend this book to educators and students with an interest in how the mind works or engineers interested in artificial intelligence and robotics in general. The book is well structured by beginning with an introduction to how life and intelligence formed, followed by an interesting explanation of intellectual capabilities essential to intelligent thought, concluding with the most interesting conceptualization of how the mind works internally that I have ever encountered. | |
