I found the CSP paper a bit too dense. Could someone suggest a beginner friendly introduction to CSP ?

An Actor is not a sequential process because it does not have a program counter that moves sequentially through a program.

You might find Actors more intuitive. For example, see the following video by Hewitt, Meijer and Szyperski: The Actor Model (everything you wanted to know, but were afraid to ask)
