Thanks for your kind notice, and please forgive the remaining mistakes
that hid so effectively from me when I went looking for them, but now
stick their little tongues out at me every time I glance back at
the piece. Gives me an appreciation for editors and other functionaries
in the publishing profession!
In case I didn't make it clear, I think Edelman's stuff is fascinating,
and probably a must-read for anybody who's seriously interested in the
prospects for AI (the real thing, not the marketing-department variety).
For somebody who wants to get acquainted with his work, I think the
best place to start is probably still the 1992 _Bright Air, Brilliant
Fire_,
which is out in paperback now.
