How to Build a Brain: Now Softer and Cheaper
Posted by Trevor Bekolay on May 11, 2015
On June 1, 2015, nearly two years after its initial release, How to Build a Brain will be available in paperback for $40 (50 CAD). To celebrate, here are some of our favorite pieces of feedback we've received on the book, the research described in the book, and presentations we've given on that research.
My company's CEO told me about this book. I'm almost through my first reading, and it is...humbling. This book contains more information in fewer pages than any other book I have read on the subject. It's an academic text, but it is good if you are hard core enough to read it.

The brain is a big thing, and including the whole thing in one book is probably somewhat optimistic... And it is certainly a sign of a good book that you want more, not less. A great read.

good!

Actually disgusting that the "eBook" is just a scrollable PDF. $60+ for this is just evil. The actual book is great.

Whoah, that's some Ghost in the Shell shit right there.
Nice fellow. Looks like some sort of druid wizard. Extremely intelligent and it does show. Decent lectures.

Chris is the least evasive of the AI researchers I've seen in interviews.

He looks like Aaron Paul's hippie doppelganger
