Alexander Keewatin Dewdney

A. K. Dewdney [1941-] ('Kee' to his friends) is a mathematician, most famous for having written a column for ScientificAmerican called ComputerRecreations?, now collected in several volumes.

He's done other books, including ThePlaniverse and ArmchairUniverse?, and edited a newsletter called Algorithm.

He invented CoreWars.


He also wrote ThePlaniverse, currently my favorite book. It's inspired me to look into his other books, so I've ordered ArmchairUniverse? from amazon.com.
