Why are you committed to that book? SICP is well-tested introductory textbook with extensive exercises. Added: I meant to say that it is functional.
I'm not. The reason I picked it up was because it happens to be the book recommended in MIRI's course suggestions, but I am not particularly attached to it. Looking again, it seems they do actually recommend SICP on lesswrong, and Learnyouahaskell on intelligence.org.
Thanks for the suggestion.
