Is it possible to design robots and other machines that can
reproduce and evolve? And, if so, what are the implications: for
the machines, for ourselves, for our environment, and for the
future of life on Earth and elsewhere? In this book the authors
provide a chronological survey and comprehensive archive of the
early history of thought about machine self-reproduction and
evolution. They discuss contributions from philosophy, science
fiction, science and engineering, and uncover many examples that
have never been discussed in the Artificial Intelligence and
Artificial Life literature before now. In the final chapter they
provide a synthesis of the concepts discussed, offer their views on
the field's future directions, and call for a broad community
discussion about the significant implications of intelligent
evolving machines. The book will be of interest to general readers,
and a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and
historians engaged with ideas in artificial intelligence,
artificial life, robotics, and evolutionary computing.

The setting is the first half of the 14th century. A time
immediately before the commencement of the Hundred Years War
between England and France. Edward III is on the throne of England;
Philip VI is King of France. This is a story of two soldiers.
Outwardly, they are very different but yet they are so very much
alike. The fate of two Kingdoms rests on the shoulders of these two
men. Sent on a vital mission by King Edward and aided by an old
friend, they are chased and harried half way across France by
French Troopers. To get the job done they will have to make
alliances with two polar opposite groups of people in order to see
their mission through.

Everyone dreams of being rich; of being able to buy whatever they
want, and never having to consider the cost. There are a number of
ways to become rich. You could win the lottery, but the odds
against you doing that are very high indeed. Another way is by
working hard for it. The odds are just about as high, and you will
still need more than your fair share of luck. John Armstrong was a
natural entrepreneur and had taken the second route. He realized
early on that the way to make money was first find your market, and
then provide that market with the products that they would need
(even if they didn't know they needed them at the time). John's
market was middle-aged men. Men in their 40's and 50's, who had
enough money to spend on what were in fact luxury items; products
like vitamin and weight loss pills, hair growth products and the
really big money spinner, Erectile Dysfunction medications. Over
the next twenty-five years, with the help of his best friend and
lawyer, Chris Fairfax, and a number of bright young university
graduates, he had driven Derwent Pharmaceuticals to become one of
the most profitable companies in the UK. Now, after half a lifetime
of sixteen hour days and seven day working weeks, John had had
enough. At the age of forty-seven, he looked back on his life and
wondered where the hell it had gone. Overnight, and after talking
with Chris, John decided to sell his controlling stake in the
company. John had found his sanctuary, a handsome medieval house
with a lake and a trout stream. In retirement, he just wanted peace
and quiet after all the years of board meetings and international
travel. However, soon after moving into his new home in the
beautiful Devonshire countryside, he finds himself yearning for the
relative calm and sanity of his old life in London. John's new life
and his view of the world will be turned upside down by events at
Midwater Manor.
