I see a lot of mentions of SICPm, it this book meant to be an update of or at least inspired by SICP?


It is inspired by SICP, but in the sense that it fixes what the authors consider to be problems with SICP's approach. They've published various papers on their criticisms of SICP, eg http://www.ccs.neu.edu/scheme/pubs/jfp2004-fffk.pdf


It's often labelled as a more accessible alternative to SICP, mainly because it's lisp-based.
