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 increasing the 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.
