I was in Stockholm end of December last year when I had the idea of My World. My World is a simplistic world populated by males and females, which implement different behaviors like searching food behavior or like reproduction behavior. The idea is inspired by the excellent novel "The trouble with bubbles" written by Philip K. Dick. At one moment of the story, the author describes a scene where couple of people in a house were there to compete together to know which one of their respective artificial worlds was the most advanced. In the novel, the artificial worlds are transportable bubbles with some buttons, which give the possibility to their owner to interact with them and help them to grow. Of course My World as it is today cannot be compared to the worlds described in the novel.

The main goal of My World for now is to promote Artificial Life and demonstrate the potential of this framework, not only to technicians but to everyone.
