Ex Machina: Coevolving Machines and the Origins of the
Social Universe
Sinopsis :
If we could rewind the tape of the Earth&#8217deep history
back to the beginning and start the world anew&#8212wold
social behavior arise yet again?While the study of origins is
foundational to many scientific fields, such as physics and
biology, it has rarely been pursued in the social sciences. Yet
knowledge of something&#8217origins often gives us new
insights into the present.In Ex Machina, John H. Miller
introduces a methodology for exploring systems of adaptive,
interacting, choice-making agents, and uses this approach to
identify conditions sufficient for the emergence of social
behavior. Miller combines ideas from biology, computation,
game theory, and the social sciences to evolve a set of

interacting automata from asocial to social behavior. Readers
will learn what it takes for an adaptive system of simple agents
to become social&#8212an what it means for a system to be
social in the first place.
