From cellular automata to the role of non-hierarchical non-deterministic
systems in education, Artificial Life surveys a field about to differentiate
into non-communicating specialisms. Catch it now, while you can find the
philosophy of artificial life and the life of artificial philosophers in one
volume. Originally reviewed in hardback by Roger Lewin on 16 September, 1995.
Published by Bradford/MIT Press, edited by Christopher Langton, $22.50,
