│░│ │░│
│░│ In The Allure of Machinic Life, John Johnston examines new forms of │░│
│░│ nascent life that emerge through technical interactions within │░│
│░│ human-constructed environments--"machinic life"--in the │░│
│░│ sciences of cybernetics, artificial life, and artificial │░│
│░│ intelligence. With the development of such research initiatives as │░│
│░│ the evolution of digital organisms, computer immune systems, │░│
│░│ artificial protocells, evolutionary robotics, and swarm systems, │░│
│░│ Johnston argues, machinic life has achieved a complexity and │░│
│░│ autonomy worthy of study in its own right. Drawing on the │░│
│░│ publications of scientists as well as a range of work in │░│
│░│ contemporary philosophy and cultural theory, but always with the │░│
│░│ primary focus on the "objects at hand"--the machines, │░│
│░│ programs, and processes that constitute machinic life--Johnston │░│
│░│ shows how they come about, how they operate, and how they are │░│
│░│ already changing. This understanding is a necessary first step, he │░│
│░│ further argues, that must precede speculation about the meaning and │░│
│░│ cultural implications of these new forms of life. Developing the │░│
│░│ concept of the "computational assemblage" (a machine and │░│
│░│ its associated discourse) as a framework to identify both │░│
│░│ resemblances and differences in form and function, Johnston offers │░│
│░│ a conceptual history of each of the three sciences. He considers │░│
│░│ the new theory of machines proposed by cybernetics from several │░│
│░│ perspectives, including Lacanian psychoanalysis and "machinic │░│
│░│ philosophy." He examines the history of the new science of │░│
│░│ artificial life and its relation to theories of evolution, │░│
│░│ emergence, and complex adaptive systems (as illustrated by a series │░│
│░│ of experiments carried out on various software platforms). He │░│
│░│ describes the history of artificial intelligence as a series of │░│
│░│ unfolding conceptual conflicts--decodings and recodings--leading to │░│
│░│ a "new AI" that is strongly influenced by artificial │░│
│░│ life. Finally, in examining the role played by neuroscience in │░│
│░│ several contemporary research initiatives, he shows how further │░│
│░│ success in the building of intelligent machines will most likely │░│
│░│ result from progress in our understanding of how the human brain │░│
│░│ actually works. │░│
