MODELING THE FUTURE

In the April issue of The Atlantic Monthly, Jonathan Rauch explains the new
science of artificial societies -- which is a marriage of computer and
social science, and which studies subjects like genocide, segregation of
neighborhoods, shocks in financial markets, crime waves, and epidemics
caused by bioterrorism. Computer animations of the artificial societies
discussed in the article can be found online at
