This was my first exposure to celluar automata in the form of John Conway's Game of Life.
A great book for inquisitive minds. I first read it when I was nine, and it got me started programming.
Artificial Life is also great and has a kind of similar feel to it too.
Artificial Life, by Steven Levy - I've lost count of how many times I've read it.
