  Living things, computers, societies, and even books are part of a grand
evolutionary struggle to survive. That struggle shapes nature, nations,
religions, art, science, and you. What you think, feel, and do is determined by
it. Darwinian evolution does not apply solely to the genes that are stored in
DNA. Using the insights of Alan Turing and Richard Dawkins, we will see that it
also applies to the memes we store in our brains and the information we store
in our computers. The next time you run for president, fight a war, or just
deal with the ordinary problems humans are heir to, perhaps this book will be
of use. If you want to understand why and when you will die, or if you want to
achieve greatness this book may help. If you are concerned about where the
computer revolution is headed, this book may provide some answers.
