Some interesting input. ARE COMPUTERS ALIVE?, by Geoff Simons, Birkhauser, Boston, 1983. "Drawing upon recent research in cybernetics, artificial intelligence, robotics, biology and philosophy, the author presents a compelling case for the existence of computer life - an argument which forces us to reappraise our criteria for defining life and to consider anew what it is to be a human." Not all that compelling, but fun. Regards, Ken Arndt
