Computadores I / R.Sanz / A humorous examination with serious overtones of the concepts of space, time, and dimension. This is accepted as an essential read by all computer geeks, just like Lord of the Rings and Neuromancer and the Tao of Pooh. It's kind of a religious work, and a mathematical treatise, and a fun story of persecution and belief. You'll find yourself wanting to write a screensaver that emulates the well-detailed life of the flatlanders. Flatland

Computadores I / R.Sanz / Extends the basic concepts of Darwinian evolution to the heart of the debate on the origins of life and the maintenance of order in complex biological systems. Focuses on the concept of self- organization - the first time this concept has been incorporated into evolutionary theory. Shows how complex systems, contrary to expectations, can spontaneously exhibit stunning degrees of order, and how this order in turn is essential for the emergence and development of life on Earth. The Origins of Order

Computadores I / R.Sanz / The author sets out to provide an abstract model of how the human mind really works: our minds consist of a huge aggregation of tiny mini- minds or agents that have evolved to perform highly specific tasks. Most of these agents lack the attributes we think of as intelligence and are severely limited in their ability to intercommunicate. Yet rational thought, feeling, and purposeful action result from the interaction of these basic components.
