Lisp Programming for AI and Automation is a practical beginner’s guide to Common Lisp, written for readers who want clear foundations without heavy academic theory. It focuses on real programming workflows with SBCL, the REPL, Quicklisp, ASDF, symbolic data structures, automation scripts, rule evaluators, macros, CLOS, and small AI-style projects built around visible, traceable logic.
This book takes you from your first Lisp expressions to useful symbolic and automation-focused programs. You will learn Common Lisp syntax, functions, data structures, file handling, text processing, rule-based logic, macros, metaprogramming, object-oriented design with CLOS, and final projects that connect symbolic reasoning with practical automation workflows.
Inside you will learn how to:
- Understand Lisp, Common Lisp, symbolic computing, AI history, and practical automation use cases
- Set up a Common Lisp environment with SBCL, the REPL, Quicklisp, ASDF, and editor workflows
- Work with S-expressions, prefix notation, symbols, strings, numbers, booleans, variables, bindings, quoting, and evaluation
- Write functions, conditionals, recursion, loops, higher-order functions, and clear Common Lisp program flow
- Use lists, cons cells, sequences, arrays, vectors, hash tables, association lists, and property lists for automation data
- Build a task automation data tool for priorities, statuses, records, and simple decision support
- Read and write files, process text, create automation scripts, and generate text reports
- Represent symbolic facts, conditions, rules, and structured knowledge in readable Lisp forms
- Build a basic rule evaluator and mini expert system for explainable recommendations
- Write practical macros, inspect macro expansion, avoid macro mistakes, and create a rule definition macro
- Use CLOS with classes, objects, slots, generic functions, methods, multiple dispatch, and workflow-based program design
- Build final projects including a symbolic calculator, rule-based troubleshooting assistant, and mini DSL for automation rules
You do not need months of abstract theory to begin writing useful Lisp programs. With step-by-step explanations, compact examples, and hands-on projects, this book helps you build Common Lisp confidence while learning symbolic reasoning, rule-based systems, macros, and automation.
Get Lisp Programming for AI and Automation today and start building practical Common Lisp skills for symbolic computing, rule-based logic, automation scripts, macros, CLOS, mini expert systems, and explainable AI-style projects.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
