If you're familiar with the Logo programming language, how would you like to graduate to using thousands of turtles all at once. This book describes the StarLogo system that allows you to write programs where many different agents act together in concert. There are some great examples of how seemingly complex "social" behaviors can spring from a large number of agents using very simple rules. My favorite chapters describe "Artifical Ants" and "Traffic Jams".
