As you might expect from a book on complex systems, John H. Miller's explanations can often be complicated. Yet, he is also lucid, instructive and entertaining. Complex systems surround you. You take part in them all the time. In his examples of such systems, Miller moves smoothly from honeybees to financial crashes, and from cellular automata to game theory. This is an approachable introduction to complexity, with useful examples, drawings, metaphors and humor. getAbstract recommends this examination of the bigger picture to anyone interested in a better of understanding complex systems and how the world works.
