Why read it?
1 author picked From Deep Learning to Rational Machines as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Don't be fooled by the lack of a breezy narrative. This read is a dense exploration of deep learning's impact and is certainly not an ‘easy read’ by any measure, but its rewards are substantial.

Through this lens, he develops a "moderate empiricism" that sheds light on the true potential and limitations of AI. While the book demands focus, we found the payoff to be significant.
From Dean's list on groundbreaking books on the future of AI.
