In AIList Digest V.4 #125, Steve Marsh requested info on any book ("not
too theoretical") on this subject.
I recommend The Recursive Universe, by William Poundstone (Morrow &
Co.), c.1985. It is a delightful non-mathematical treatment of
information theory, entropy relationships and other related issues
including a discussion of Conway's game of LIFE. It also includes a
listing of the game for use on an IBM PC (or equivalent).
