  A survey of the topics in fault-tolerant computation that kept my
interest a long time.  An outline:

  - coding theory
  - computation and information storage with logic circuits
  - information storage and computation in cellular automata
  - simple one-dimensional models
  - hierarchical models
  - open questions
