Handbook of Neuroevolution Through Erlang

Artificial Intelligence, since its official beginnings in the 1950s, has sought inspiration from nature: After all, biology has demonstrated that it is possible to produce intelligent entities through the slow but persistent process of natural selection.After several decades of computational and biological ideas cross fertilizing each other, a computer algorithm known as 'neuroevolution' has emerged.

I've always been interested in AI, but it was really my study of Erlang that compelled me to buy this book. I'll admit I haven't finished the book yet, but thus far it has been a compelling read and I can see clearly why the author feels that Erlang is the best programming language for the both.
