Cyberfeminism and Artificial Life is an academic book by Sarah Kember published in 2003. [https://www.routledge.com/Cyberfeminism-and-Artificial-Life/Kember/p/book/9780415240277] Chapter 4, "CyberLife’s Creatures" covers [[Creatures]] and [[Creatures 2]]. The first section compares Creatures to other [[alife]] simulations such as [[Wikipedia:Tierra_(computer_simulation)|Tierra]] and [[Wikipedia:SimLife|SimLife]]. After describing how the games work, Kember then discusses the relationship between the players (who began creating new [[breed]]s and [[cob]]s as soon as the game came out, as well as publicly documenting discoveries like new [[mutation]]s) and the producers of the game (who responded by providing documentation and tools to make modifications easier). There is also a discussion of [[norn torture]] and [[Cyberlife]]'s [[Applied Research]] projects, as well as the nature of consciousness and its connection to alife.
