You will enjoy this book if you know little about AI, or maybe even have no prior knowledge of computer science. If you know the difference between advanced AI types, or even have heard of graph machine learning, you might still enjoy it, as did I, but you will not learn a lot.

_michaljan reviewed Why Men Don Listen & Women Cant Read Map by Allan Pease

None

1 star

The book is more of a guide of "how to live with men" than highlight differences between the genders in a useful manner. In an attempt to be funny, the authors repeat ad infinitum some stereotypical anecdotes about how the genders are different. Unfortunately, it's rather irritating than funny. I did not finish the book (got to right past 1/3rd) as I did not really find the first chapters of it useful. No footnotes at all did not make the science referred in the book seem less dubious.
