Book Reviews of Darwin Among The Machines: The Evolution Of Global Intelligence (Helix Books)
Book Review: A Difficult Read
Summary: 3 Stars
The title implied that this book was about Artificial Life - evolution as applied to machines. Rather it is more of a collection of biographys of scientists involved with this field.I found the book very difficult to read, with very little relevant details for modern researchers in Artificial Life and complex systems. Even as a 'historical' book it is long winded, and does not bring the people being described alive. Rather dissaponting for a book with such a nice title.
