Langton's ant is a classic. What is Chris doing now? Does he have a homepage, a 
Twitter account or Google+ profile? And what about the other SFI legends like 
John Holland, W. Brian Arthur and Murray Gellmann? Are they still alive?

</div>He came to a book party of mine in San Francisco for "Edge of Chaos," and 
looked very well. This would've been maybe ten years ago. I may have smothered 
him with kisses, I was so glad to see him. I think he's pretty much left 
A-Life, and for that matter, science.

Interesting "complexity" stunt I hadn't heard of:

Anyone in touch with Chris nowadays? He's one of the pioneers, at SFI in the 
early days, but I haven't read any of his works and would like to.  Any 
recommended readings?
