Computation

Finite and Infinite Machines (Automatic Computation)

Marvin Lee Minsky

This book delves into the growing influence and capabilities of computers and other machines, and how they will affect society's future. With their ability to handle control, information, and intellectual processes, it is crucial for all of us to understand their potential and limitations. While challenging to categorize and analyze, the theoretical range of these devices is enormous with subtle and elusive limitations. This thought-provoking read reveals that there are no limitations that machines share with humans.

It is actually a 'math book' — with lots of ideas, theorems, proofs, etc., — but presented in the friendliest way imaginable by a great mind.      source
