"[This book] is a valuable contribution to evolutionary computation and more generally to artificial intelligence. It is engaging to read, easy to follow and lives up to its promises. Furthermore, it delivers insights that should be helpful to anyone interested in AI and games. In the beginning, [the author] cites Leibniz who once said 'Human being are never more ingenious than in the invention of games'. In my opinion, [this book] says how to transfer parts of this ingenuity to the machine." (Amine Boumaza, Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines, Springer, 2012)
