Hmm. It is has pretty variable accessability- I'd say anyone with a programming
background will be able to read nearly all of it. However, it can at times be
dry and difficult to follow, which makes it not so great reading for people
without a serious CS background. On the flip side, as a survey, it doesn't
contain nearly enough detail to use as the basis for serious work. I found it
basically most interesting as a "this is what everyone is doing... here is
where you can actually read something informative" type of thing. It's
unfortunate, as we were considering using it as a textbook here. Oh well...

I'd check out the Braitenberg book mentioned elsewhere in this list- it is not
rigorous in any way, but it is incredibly thought provoking. Not much else I
can recommend, unfortunately. Oh well-
