A new reference work with a large introduction to the entire field, this book is really designed to be a one stop shop for those interested in computable economics. Classic readings are included in the book, it was an education putting this together. It is expensive, as a reference work must be, but those interested should get their hands on it.

Blurb:
Computable economics is a growing field of research which has been given much attention by scholars in recent decades. In this authoritative collection, the editors successfully bring together the seminal papers of computable economics from the last sixty years and encompass the works of some of the most influential researchers in this area. Topics covered in this timely volume include the foundations of computable economics, classics of computable choice theory, computable macroeconomics and computable and social choice theory. The book is enhanced with a comprehensive introduction by the editors and will serve as an essential source of reference for students and researchers in the field.
Stephen,
On the subject of things computational, I know you are an iPhone user. Chris Horn published a blog entry just now, which looks into the patent situation behind that new technology, you might like to read.

Also, I highly recommend you check out the work of Victoria Stodden, now at Columbia university. Her research work looked at the changing nature of scientific method, with so much computational models being built nowadays, and consequently the work being published in journals on statistics and what have you.
I listened to her talk to Berkeley iSchool which I downloaded as a podcast from iTunes not so long ago. I think, you would find her lecture very intriguing. Her Stanford page is here:
