By Blaise Agüera y Arcas

Antikythera and MIT Press are pleased to announce their new book series with the inaugural title What Is Life? by leading AI researcher and longtime Antikythera collaborator Blaise Agüera y Arcas. Taking its title from theoretical physicist Erwin Schrödinger’s 1944 book of the same name, What Is Life? shows how self-reproduction, hence life, is inherently computational.
