Silicon Second Nature - Culturing Artificial Life in a Digital World, Updated With a New Preface (Paperback, Updated ed.)

"Helmreich's analysis--extensive, imaginative, rigorous, and insightful--promises to establish him as "the cultural authority on A-Life. . . . He shows that, in the age of complexity, science simultaneously disenchants and re-enchants the world. . . . The book is written in a personal and engaging style . . . so full of ideas and interesting asides [that] Helmreich takes on the persona of a smart and well-informed tour guide of the A-Life world [with] an enviable ability to take very complex ideas and discuss them comprehensibly without simplifying them."--Hugh Gusterson, author of "Nuclear Rites
