Title: The Core Issue
Review: The book fails to explain how the automata should be designed so that they evolve as do natural entities. Thus cellular agents have no connection to useful work. Wolfram does not even come close to this issue, the only central question in the automata "field".He only plays, as some rich scientist who has run out of ideas might play.One serious 10 page paper on how to model such agents for useful purposes would be worth 10 such books.
