Introduction to Artificial Life
Introduction to Artificial Life by Christoph Adami is a 1998 Science & Technology book written by TED speaker Christoph Adami, paired here with the talk they gave.
For students, researchers and professional scientist eager to gain insight into the emerging frontiers of Artifical Life, Chris Adami's work provides the basic underpinnings for properly understanding this interdisciplinary research area. The CD-ROM accompanying the book invites readers to actively experience artificial evolution in "real time" by using a proprietary simulation software program, AVIDA, which is contained on the CD.
