Electric Sheep (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Electric Sheep is a distributed computing project for animating and evolving fractal flames, which are in turn distributed to the networked computers, which display them as a screensaver. The process is transparent to the casual user, who can simply install the software as a screensaver. Alternatively, the user may become more involved with the project, manually creating sheep (video files of animated fractal flames) for upload to the server. This entertaining service is provided for free, in return for which the service of the networked computer may also be used for rendering other, private, possibly commercial projects[citation needed], belonging to the author of Electric Sheep. Many of these projects are available for sale on Scott Drave's personal website.
