Whoever Said Computers Would Be Intelligent? is a 280-page review of the subject of artificial intelligence, woven from over 500 quotations, both pertinent and impertinent.  It surveys the development of AI from Pascal's calculators to modern space probes, using the words of those engaged in AI research and other commentators.  The book is intended for anyone with a general interest in AI  but who would find a typical AI textbook too daunting.  The contents of the book, and the first two chapters, can be read from the links below.
