David I. has another interesting post on Software as a "Living Entity".... It reminded me of the book The Little Black Book of Computer Viruses by Mark Ludwig. It talked about viruses as artificial life. You can really have fun with viruses since you need to consider this life cycle and self replication or it will really bite you!
Please note I don't advocate the use of viruses for distractive activities.
I guess that book was replaced with the The Giant Black Book of Computer Viruses which is also by Mark Ludwig. He has other works on viruses if you are really interested.
