In Search of a Beautiful Mind: MIT Mathematician and Logo inventor Seymour Papert
- dhess 18y agoThanks for that link, I don't think I'd have seen that story if not for your submission. For the last year and a half I've been reading everything I can get my hands on that Seymour wrote. (Some of his more technical books are out of print and hard to find. Amazon tried for about 6 weeks to find his book with Idit Harel for me, but came up empty.) I didn't know that he was in the middle of a new one when the accident occurred. The possibility that his new, unfinished book is trapped inside his head, incommunicable to the rest of us, is a sad irony.
