Can anyone recommend a source for setting up an environment in Linux to run the code in this book? Do I need to learn eMacs to get close to a “modern lisp” programming environment?
It's a distribution of emacs together with a Lisp compiler, emacs add-ons like SLIME, etc.
I guess this is more of a historical curiosity rather than something that is relevant today?

It's weird that it still feels like this is almost something I'm 'supposed' to know and at some point work my way through. (Maybe because it was on the brink of still being relevant when I got interested in programming in middle school.) Kind of a relief to realize that this for sure is no longer something you're expected to know whatsoever.

What changed ?
The kind of symbolic AI described in this book went through several cycles of hype and disappointment to the point where many think it is obsolete. People often do it connect recent breakthroughs in SAT and SMT solvers with this history and for that matter production rules engines are dramatically better than they were in the 1980s but they’ve never made a breakthrough into general purpose use.

Emacs would be a fine choice, but is not mandatory, if you can live with less support for parens found in other editors. Emacs traditionally excels at working with lispy languages and REPLs. I started working through the book, but did not feel like using Common Lisp. Instead I used GNU Guile. I am not very far in the book yet, but so far I was able to translate between Common Lisp and Scheme easily. So for me the way…
