My father had a book by Minsky which I swiped from his bookshelf and read cover to cover. I can&#x27;t for the life of me remember the title but looking over his bibliography I think it was this one. This book, if indeed it was this one, had a big impact on my younger self, though I&#x27;m ashamed of two things now: 1) I can&#x27;t remember <i>exactly</i> what it was about it that affected me so, and 2) I don&#x27;t know where the book is! I do remember the chapters about McCulloch-Pitts artificial neurons and Turing machines and the halting problem. I&#x27;d dearly love to find a copy of that book to see if my older self recognises what my younger self saw in it.
