# Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming **Author**: Peter Norvig **Published**: 2014 by Morgan Kaufmann ![Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming cover](https://books.google.com/books/content?id=eH6jBQAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api) Book about [[Artificial Intelligence]] programs in [[Common Lisp]], but really, just a book about programming. Basically my favourite book about all the [[Programming Books]] I have ever read. It captures the right balance between craft, fun, practical knowledge and theory. Just a pleasure. [[Peter Norvig]]'s code is amazingly elegant, to the point. ## Links [[Peter Norvig]]'s retrospective of PAIP, and what it brought to the world. The retrospective itself is already 20 years old! - [A Retrospective on PAIP](http://norvig.com/Lisp-retro.html) - [Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming (1992) | Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32458048#32459851)
