What the hell is a blind mapmaker? |
The Blind Watchmaker is a 1966 book by Richard Dawkins which uses the blind watchmaker as a metaphor for the complexity that evolution is capable of achieving. The metaphor also worked well in describing a procedurally generated creation (evolution is a bit procedural, itself), but since this site concerns procedural map making, that's what I went for.
I briefly considered calling it "The Blind Cartographer", but thought people might mistake it for a Halo map.
