Mike Lesser

Mike Lesser (born 1943 in London) is a mathematical philosopher and political activist.

The youngest member of the Committee of 100, he was sent, aged sixteen, to Wormwood Scrubs Prison along with most of the Committee. He has served two spells as contributor to London's Underground journal International Times.

He was active in May 1968 in France.[1]

In 1992 he was the co-author, with Prof A. Wuensche, of the book "The Global Dynamics Of Cellular Automata", published in the "Santa Fe Institute's Reference Volumes." The book is an atlas of emergent forms evolving from the apparently chaotic product of a set of iterated logical operations.

He was assistant to the Directing Professor, P. Allen, at the Institute for Ecotechnological Research at Cranfield University. He is the co-author of several scientific papers on dynamical systems theory with Prof Allen.[2]

He worked on super computers at NASA's Goddard Jet Propulsion Lab, Washington, D.C., USA and at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratories, Oxon. UK.

He has published papers on Autism with Dr. Dinah Murray [3] with whom he co-founded Autism and Computing, a non-profit organization.

In 2009 he founded The International Times Archive, a free archive of every page of International Times from its first issue in 1966 to its last in 1994.

A more complete autobiography may be found in the Times [4] A biographical interview may also be found in the style magazine Dazed & Confused[5]
