- Abstract
Even a brief sketch of the history of simulation, given here for physics, climatology and biology, reveals from the perspective of the humanities possibilities for expansive and adventurous imaginative work. Despite the fact that simulation as we know it began its rapid and transformative growth with digital computing 70 years ago, it is only within the last decade that it has received critical attention in the humanities. Why this is so, given that simulation is so closely congruent with these disciplines, is a question worth pondering
