Ape Reality

Ape Reality is a free 10-15 minute audio podcast relating to the Noble Ape development and the Noble Ape Simulation recorded by Noble Ape creator, Tom Barbalet.

Ape Reality covers a number of topics including artificial life meta-theory (for example, artificial life as a critique of contemporary science), maintaining an open source development (for example, working with third party companies and individuals), and the development and history of Noble Ape and the motivation behind new technology in Noble Ape.

Through the short format of each podcast, the aim was to keep the information fast-paced and fresh. You can chose which topics interest you and download accordingly.
