BLUE RIDGE SUMMIT, PA--This new hands-on guide challenges computer
programmers and hobbyists to examine the question, "What is life, and when
does it begin?" using interactive programs in BASIC, C and Pascal. In
Genesis Redux: Experiments Creating Artificial Life, Edward Rietman makes
cutting-edge research into biotechnology, robotics, ecosystems and
cellular biology accessible to PC enthusiasts with a taste for scientific
inquiry. With supplied algorithms and complete working programs, readers
can model a variety of artificial life forms and self-organizing systems
on their PCs.

Everything from computer viruses and genetic codes to amino acids and
cellular automata are explored in this intriguing volume. Rietman also
ponders the future of artificial life, including its social implications
and significance for post-biological evolution. Jammed with hundreds of
illustrations and photographs, this book is a terrific way to obtain a
whole new level of programming skills while gaining insight into a
riveting, relevant subject.
