The Diamond Age By Neal Stephenson

... and where are we today?

Man I have loved this book since the moment I read it on an 8 hour flight across the country. Any dedicated hacker that catches wind of the prevailing programming concepts[of self-seeding matter and molecules] can't help but begin to consider adopting the perspective that enables self-expanding works from recursive generative algorithms.

The Diamond Age By Neal Stephenson Reviewed at memoirs on a rainy day: "to put together something they call the Seed, a way of being independent of the Feed and liberating his society.

The Seed, an advanced technology that would allow decentralized compilation of matter (as opposed to the centralized pipelines that currently supply basic molecules through the “Feed”). The “Seed” technology would be advantageous for Chinese culture, which is grounded in peasant labor destroyed by Western industrial society..."

Competitive and self-expanding code Seed strategies prevail in Redcode like nowhere else.

In the world of software languages, brainfuck right up there with a potential to first define the primitives and then define the side effects from seed values plugged in to the primitives.
