Those of us who are newly arrived on the agent scene have a variety of books available with which to increase our agent vocabulary. In this article, I provide a short review of five books related to agent research. I also discuss several overview papers and the recently published proceedings of the 1997 Autonomous Agents conference. Rather than providing an in-depth, critical analysis of these books (most of which are edited collections of papers), I describe their overall approach, attitude, and quality. These books are not ones that I chose from an exhaustive search of all potentially relevant available books but are those that quality publishers of AI/philosophy texts provided to me for review or those that I purchased for my own education. I have not selected books that treat only one aspect of agent operation in detail (e.g., Rosenschein & Zlotkin, 1994) in order that I may present you with books that significantly expand your agent literacy.
