From cellular automata to the role of non-hierarchical non-deterministic
systems in education, Artificial Life surveys a field about to differentiate

philosophy of artificial life and the life of artificial philosophers in one
volume. Originally reviewed in hardback by Roger Lewin on 16 September, 1995.
