Creation

Life and How to Make It

Steve Grand

"Creation" explores the world of artificial life, delving into the creation of revolutionary computer game Creatures(R) that allowed players to create living beings in real-time. Written by Steve Grand, who single-handedly wrote 250,000 lines of computer code, this book offers a chance to peek into the perspective of an intellectual maverick and philosopher-engineer. Grand not only discusses the technical aspects of artificial life, but also explores the practical, social, and ethical implications of this field. With unique insights acquired during the development of Creatures, Grand offers a surprising view of the world.

17/ Creation. @enchantedloom shows how complex emergent systems are not simply the product of their components, but something new and higher. Thought-provoking for anyone seeking to help create such systems. @Harvard_Press      source
