I suspect a lot of other people might find it confused or random, but I felt like I could usually follow along with Edelman's train of thought. I enjoyed the mix of psychology, computer science and philosophy; I especially liked the references to classical literature (Shakespeare, Homer) mixed in with seventies science fiction (PKDick, UKLeGuinn). Definitely want to read more from this guy, a smart, cool, and funny mix of Russian, Israeli, and American. ( ) no reviews | add a review
