Description
Written by one of the leading theorists of the new scientific interest in complexity, this book explores the implications of the existence of complex systems - not least, life - in a chaotic universe, and how the increasing mathematical understanding of how complex behaviour can arise out of simple rules-based systems on computers creates an enormously powerful metaphor for the future of science, from evolutionary and developmental biology through to cosmology and particle physics.
