"The book features relatively new advances in the computing/scientific community, such as artificial life, emergence (and by extension, complexity), genetic algorithms, and agent-based computing."
- ergothus 11y agoNot remotely pioneering though. Being 5-20 years (or more) behind the curve might be insightful to the average reader, but is in no way pioneering. That'd be like saying Dolly the Sheep was pioneering in ideas about cloning humans. The ideas/ethics/concerns were around for decades. That average people willfully ignored them doesn't make the ideas new.
