Using intelligent agents as central characters, this work begins with elementary reactive agents. It reveals neural networks, genetic programming, computer vision, heuristic search, knowledge representation and reasoning, Bayes networks, and planning through the capabilities of these agents. It also illustrates the most important ideas in AI
