I haven't read his book (yet), but I just happened to be sitting right next to him in a cafeteria at Harvard! That's the Boston version of celebrity citing for you.

As for how the mind works, I thought that Marvin Minsky was really getting somewhere with his book "Society of Mind". It's kind of old now, but available free online I notice.
