Review
WHY ITS DIVINE: 'Spacefighter' is Actar's book-length exploration of 'The Evolutionary City,' a piece of software that envisions urban design as a video game. It's like Sim City for real engineers, integrating game theory, economics and biology to simulate the complicated problems in large-scale design. Somehow we doubt Robert Moses would approve. --The Huffington Post
Space Fighter suggests that tomorrow's cities will be run like video games, an organizational challenge best addressed through simulations, not the book-based planning of today's town halls. So will mayors one day fire their planners and pick up a Wii? Only time will tell. --Dwell Magazine
