Life was invented by the mathematician John Conway in 1970.
Life is one of the simplest cellular automata to have been studied, but many others have been invented, often to simulate systems in the real world.
Life is one of the simplest examples of what is sometimes called "emergent complexity" or "self-organizing systems." This subject area has captured the attention of scientists and mathematicians in diverse fields.

The "Game of Life" was invented by a Cambridge mathematician named John Horton Conway.
I first became aware of it through an article in the Mathematical Games section of the October 1970 issue of Scientific American.
Life is played by populating a rectangular, two-dimensional grid of cells with "critters." Then you observe the behavior of the population over succeeding "generations." Each cell has eight neighboring cells, one for each of the four sides, and one for each of the four corners.
