NYT obit. 1981 profile from the New Yorker by Jeremy Bernstein.
Dr. Minsky was another of my personal heroes that I never got to meet. I first read about him in the pages of Hackers, which was a Christmas gift from my mother one year (and about which I’ve written before).
Later on, I got interested in AI, which led me again to Minsky by way of The Society of Mind. (Which, oddly enough, I have also touched on before.)
I wish that I had more to say, but I’m struggling to find words right now. (I blame this mostly on allergies.)
