Theory of Self-Reproducing Automata, John von Neumann

First edition, first printing of von Neumann's important work on the theory of automata, which contains the fundamental details of his Universal Constrictor, a self-replicating machine in a cellular automata environment. Edited from two manuscripts that remained unpublished upon his death, the book was assembled and completed by Arthur W. Burks. A foundational work, considered a cornerstone of automata theory, complex systems, and artificial life. Uncommon in this condition.

Urbana and London: University of Illinois Press, 1966. Publisher's original olive green cloth, lettered in black; pp. xix, 388. A fine copy in a near fine, unclipped dust jacket. Binding remains tight, sturdy and square, internally clean with no markings. Jacket shows just traces of shelfwear with a very faint small stain near spine heel. Very presentable, protected in archival mylar.
