Perhaps the most widely known C A is the game of Life, invented by John H. Conway, and popularized extensively by Martin Gardner in his Mathematical Games department in Scientific American in the early 1970s (see, for example, [gardnei 70]). 

The formal study of CA really began not with the simpler one-dimensional systems discussed in the previous section but with von Neumann s work in the 1940 s with self-reproducing two-dimensional CA [vonN66]. Such systems also gained considerable publicity (as well as notoriety ) in the 1970 s with John Conway s introduction of his Life rule and its subsequent popularization by Martin Gardner in his Scientific American Mathematical Games department [gardner83] (see section 3.4-4).

Martin Gardner first came to my attention with his Mathematical Games column in Scientific American, which he wrote for about 25 years. In addition to this column, he has published over 60 books. 

Many do, but science writer Martin Gardner reports that a greater percentage of Americans today believe in astrology and occult phenomena than did citizens of medieval Europe. Very few newspapers carry a daily science column, but nearly all provide daily horoscopes.
