Mentifex has released a book on amazon!

http://www.amazon.com/LISP_AI_Singularity/dp/B00F8F1FG0

On comp.lang.lisp ,

Any Lisp coder has a chance at undying fame if
he, she or it reviews the new Singularity e-book
from which the following excerpt mentions Lisp:
"In Lisp, I kept solving problems in AI,
but they kept moving the goalposts on me.
No sooner would I solve a major AI problem,
than they would tell me it wasn't considered
AI any more. They used to say that only a True
AI would ever be able to beat the human chess
champion at chess. When programs I wrote started
beating world-class chess players, they said that
winning at chess wasn't AI any more. It was enough
to drive a man to drink. In fact, it drove me
to drink. If I could not solve AI, I could find
the sum of all consolation in a bottle."

He then goes off on some ramblings about how reviewing the book will make you a legendary figure in computer science and get you invited to speak on radio talk shows. I think he may be poking fun at himself though. If he were really that insane his writing wouldn't be coherent.

I actually enjoyed the preview. Might buy the whole book.
