A Modern Approach


Simply a good book in Artificial Intelligence for general puposes. Here you will find the fundementals of AI explained in a understandable way.


It's up in its third edition now. When I was studying at the university it was on its first ... I am getting old, but in a good wine type of way =)

The Computational Beauty of Nature


A
nother good reading that I recommend is "The Computational Beauty of Nature" by Gary William Flake.


A very illustrative book which covers the most fundamental parts of emergent behaivor. Not at all as heavy as A New Kind of Science, with consideration to the body and mind.

A New Kind of Science


F
or some heavy reading, and I mean both physically and psychologically I recommend "A New Kind of Science" by Stephen Wolfram, the founder of Mathematica and a driving force behind Cellular Automata.

This thing consists of 1197 pages(!) and is not something you want to fall asleep under when laying in bed. However, the chanses of that are slim when you most likely won't be able to hold it for a longer period of time(yes, it's heavy).
