Description
This collection of the author's essays takes a thoughtful, philosophical look at "live" software - a new breed of software that can learn, grow, and both replicate and modify itself in much the same way as a living organism. These include computer viruses, neural networks and sophisticated games. It also examines the controversy surrounding the development of artificial life and intelligence. The book is accompanied by a diskette which contains a collection of safe live programs.
