Negative Positive
Title: Borderline unreadable
Review: Kauffman undoubtedly has something important to say, but what? Writing skill is unfortunately not a part of his impressive credentials. Spare us the inappropriate anecdotes, biased historical perspective and creationist apologia.Those seeking a cogent synthesis of some of the ideas buried in this tome are advised to get _Creation_ , by Steve Grand. Steve programmed the Creatures computer game. His book gives a stimulating, well-written look at persistant, emergent phenomena.
