Steve Grand 写的《Creation》这本书里有非常强有力的论据支持这个类比。我是在得知它是 Jeff Bezos 最喜欢的书时偶然发现它的。抱歉，我知道这么回应你的论点有点敷衍，但要是展开讲内容就实在太多了……
The book called Creation by Steve Grand has great arguments in favor of the analogie. I came across it as the favorite book of Jeff Bezos. Sorry, I know this is a weak response to your argument but it would be too much to cover…
20 年前 Steve Grand 写过一本很棒的书叫《Creation: Life and how to make it》[1]，它基本上就是拿《Creatures》[2] 这款游戏当作创造人工生命（Artificial Life）的测试环境。书里还有一些非常深刻的思考，谈到科学为什么需要更多……

听起来你好像读过 Steve Grand 的那本《Creation: Life and How To make It》？那整本书的核心论调就是这个；要是你还没读过，我强烈推荐。
It sounds like you've maybe read Steve Grand's book, Creation: Life and How To make It? That is his entire pitch; if you've not read it I wholly recommend it.
与此同时，Bezos 迷上了一本名为《Creation》的书，作者是 Steve Grand。Grand 曾是 90 年代电脑游戏《Creatures》的开发者，那款游戏让玩家能在屏幕上引导和培育一种看似具有智能的生物。Grand 在书中写道，他的方法……
At the same time, Bezos became enamored with a book called Creation, by Steve Grand, the developer of a 1990s video game called Creatures that allowed players to guide and nurture a seemingly intelligent organism on their computer screens. Grand wrote that his approach…
我最早是通过 Steve Grand 的《Creation: Life and How to Make It》这本书接触到控制论（cybernetics）的。Grand 制作了《Creatures》这款电子游戏，并应用了控制论的思想。因此，每个 Norn（游戏中虚构物种的名字）都拥有一套基因组……
I first learned about cybernetics through the book Creation: Life and How to Make It by Steve Grand. Grand created the Creatures video game and applied ideas from cybernetics. As a result, each Norn (the name of the fictional species the game is about) has a genome,…
