Reviews

“The book contains numerous detailed illustrations … . an avid reader who is a Game of Life enthusiast to the core will cherish every word. However, less detail-oriented readers may also enjoy this manuscript, focusing more on the tale told by the illustrations and their accompanying captions. These in themselves provide much insight into the fascinating universe of cellular automata–and into the amazing feats they can accomplish.” (Moshe Sipper, Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines, Vol. 18, 2017) “Rendell’s volume reports an extended project on such engineering of universal computers in the GoL. … individual chapters have references to the literature relevant to each of them. Aficionados of the Game of Life will welcome this volume as the journal of a fellow enthusiast as he explores new ways to configure and manipulate the simple potential of this fascinating algorithm.” (H. Van Dyke Parunak, Computing Reviews, November, 2015)
