COMPUTER SIMULATIONS OF SPACE SOCIETIES - WILLI...

At the intersection of astronautics  computer science  and social science  this book introduces
the challenges and insights associated with computer simulation of human society in outer space
and of the dynamics of terrestrial enthusiasm for space exploration. Never before have so many
dynamic representations of space-related social systems existed  some deeply analyzing the
logical implications of social-scientific theories  and others open for experience by the
general public as computer-generated virtual worlds. Fascinating software ranges from
multi-agent artificial intelligence models of civilization  to space-oriented massively
multiplayer online games  to educational programs suitable for schools or even for the world's
space exploration agencies. At the present time  when actual forays by humans into space are
scarce  computer simulations of space societies are an excellent way to prepare for a
renaissance of exploration beyond the bounds of Earth.
