'Brilliantly fuses the development of evolutionary theory and computing . . . prophetic' Daily Telegraph

'Full of historical anecdotes . . . but this is much more than a history book. George Dyson weaves his threads together for a purpose. Using voices of the past and present, he describes a fresh and sometimes startling viewpoint of the emerging relationship between nature and machines. From vignettes about Olaf Stapledon, George Boole, John von Neumann, and Samuel Butler, a larger story develops in which the twin processes of intelligence and evolution are inseparably intertwined' Danny Hillis, Wired
