Aaron's code

What Hacker News says

   There's a good book from 1990 with lots of detail, history, and examples of AARON and Harold Cohen's work: Aaron's Code by Pamela McCorduck. Recommended reading for anyone into generative art, or more generally the intersection of computation and art.

   Out of print, but available second-hand on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Aarons-Code-Meta-Art-Artificial-Intel...

   For some historical perspective, compare this to Harold Cohen's AARON generative rule-based system:

   Pamela McCorduck's book about Cohen's work, Aaron's Code, is also a good read.
