At the intersection of astronautics, computer science, and social
science, this book introduces the challenges and insights associated
with computer simulation of human society in outer space, and of the
dynamics of terrestrial enthusiasm for space exploration. Never before
have so many dynamic representations of space-related social systems
existed, some deeply analyzing the logical implications of
social-scientific theories, and others open for experience by the
general public as computer-generated virtual worlds. Fascinating
software ranges from multi-agent artificial intelligence models of
civilization, to space-oriented massively multiplayer online games, to
educational programs suitable for schools or even for the world's
space exploration agencies. At the present time, when actual forays by
humans into space are scarce, computer simulations of space societies
are an excellent way to prepare for a renaissance of exploration
beyond the bounds of Earth.
