Exicting and acessible review of the Alife Field, Mars 4 1999
Par Un client
This book has really good coverage of the entire field, and is very good at showing the current level of development while hinting at the future. It may overstate the case a little, but for a general audience that is what is required. By far the best popular coverage of science issues I have ever read.

Excellent - absorbing and approachable thought food., Janv. 30 1998
Par Un client
This book is a terrific introduction and overview to the field of artificial life. Not to be at all confused with the more mundane "artificial intellgence", AL is the quest to create something that can be considered to be sentient within a computer system. Great reading for everyone, not just the technically literate, on a subject that I believe will become one of the great issues and debates of the 21st century.

A beautifully simple book on a scary, complex topic, Déc 2 1997
I came to Levy's great book through another great book (search on Great Mambo Chicken) on fringe science. If you have any interest in the sort of programming which will be applied in forthcoming technological epochs, you owe it to yourself to read this primer on the basics of 'modeling complex systems', 'cellular automata', and 'genetic programming'. Easy enough to read with a basic science background, it will nonetheless leave you with hordes of ideas, so you'll find yourself scribbling self-aware code in whatever programming language you know. Moreover, after reading it you'll know how to interpret the very interesting but ofttimes scary-looking data generated by all the GP and CA programs available on the web. Even if you know about these topics, this book is a good place to find everything in one place, and to glean purple prose with which to convince doubters. Look for the topics discussed herein to gain extreme currency in the coming years, with the emergence of robot colonies and, a few decades hence, nanotechnology. Great buy.

You may never think of life in the same way again., Juil 30 1996
Par Un client
Levy presents a fascinating roundup of the state of the art in this new field of computer science, complete with interviews with some colorful personalities and their pet projects. A must for cyberculture groupies and followers of cutting-edge thought.
