为什么值得读
- 系统梳理计算机与生物学融合的前沿领域
- 绝佳的元胞自动机与生命游戏入门读物
- 能激发读者动手编程模拟人工生命
这是一门崭新科学令人惊叹的故事：人工生命科学。计算机科学家、微生物学家、化学家、物理学家、数学家和进化理论家已经成功创造出外表与行为极像活体生物的造物。它们生长、进食、繁殖、变异、相互争斗、死亡——并且这一切都是自发进行的，无需人类创造者的干预。Artificial Life也是关于一种全新科研方式的故事，它不是源于实验室，而是源于计算机。计算机描绘——并创造——涌现系统的强大能力

Steven Levy 写的《Artificial Life》——我已经数不清自己读过多少遍了。
Artificial Life, by Steven Levy - I've lost count of how many times I've read it.

…关于符号逻辑和符号计算。我没读完整本书，但也读得足够让我在自己的 HP-48 GX 图形计算器上写个程序来化简符号命题逻辑语句了。Steven Levy 写的《Artificial Life: A Report from the Frontier Where Computers Meet Biology》[4]——这是我第一次通过 John Conway 的 Game of Life 接触到元胞自动机（cellular automata）。这本书还启发了我…
…in symbolic logic and symbolic computation. I didn't read the whole book but I read enough to write a program on my HP-48 GX graphicing calculator to simplify symbolic propositional logic statements. Artificial Life: A Report from the Frontier Where Computers Meet Biology by Steven Levy [4] - This was my first exposure to celluar automata in the form of John Conway's Game of Life. This books also inspired me to…
当然可以。针对本论坛来说，最相关的可能就是 Steven Levy 写的《Artificial Life》了。单就这本书本身而言，写得没毛病。内容非常有趣，要是有人对这个领域感兴趣，我其实挺推荐的。问题是，我读这本书的时候恰好…
Sure. Probably most relevant in terms of this forum is a book 'Artificial Life' by Steven Levy. By itself, there's nothing wrong with this book. It's very interesting, and I would actually recommend this if anyone is interested in the subject matter. The catch is, I read this right…
排先后顺序我不太清楚……他们都做出了非常惊艳的成就。供参考（FWIW），关于其中一些人，Steven Levy 写的两本书里有很有意思的历史/传记信息，分别是《Artificial Life》和《Hackers: Heroes Of The Computer Revolution》。话虽如此，Claude Shannon 所做的工作基本上奠定了信息论（Information Theory）这个领域[1]，而它正是现代数字世界大半壁江山的基石。…
I don't know about order... they've all done some amazing stuff. FWIW, there's some interesting historical / biographical information on some of these folks in two books, both by Steven Levy: Artificial Life and Hackers: Heroes Of The Computer Revolution That said, the stuff Claude Shannon did basically established the field of Information Theory[1], which underpins huge swathes of our modern digital world.…
