COMPLEXITY BY M. MITCHELL WALDROP

 

 

* The great physicist Stephen Hawking once said: "I think the next century will be the century of complexity." Complexity science is one of the most important breakthroughs in  recent history. Unlike the traditional specialized approach to science, complexity focuses on patterns and properties that exist across different branches.

 

Mitchell Waldrop's book introduces readers to complexity by  telling a story about the people who brought it into the spotlight. Among the characters we meet are economists, physicists,  biologists and computer scientists responsible for establishing the Institute of Complex Systems in Santa Fe New Mexico. Through  their stories, Walldrop introduces the reader to the wonderful and profound world of complex systems.

 

* This ought to be an interesting and informative read.
