RELease 1.0, Feb 27, 1990

SUGGESTED READING "Artificial Life," edited by Chris Langton, Addison-Wesley, 1988.

"Artificial Life: The Coming Evolution," by Doyne Farmer and Letty Belin, available from the Santa Fe Institute, (505) 984-8800. (To appear in "Proceedings in Celebration of Murray Gell-Mann's 60th Birthday," Cambridge University Press.)

"Machines Who Think," by Pamela McCorduck, W.H. Freeman, 1979.

"The Future of the Mass Audience," by Russell Neuman. Harvard University Press, in press. Neuman argues that human nature is much slower to change than technology, and that human habits provide a countervailing force to technology. "Maybe people will watch specialized information 20 percent of the time instead of 1 percent now, but that still leaves 80 percent of the time for the Cosby show," he argues.
