Inseln Im Chaos by M. Mitchell Waldrop
A lively, accessible chronicle of the emergence of complexity science centered on the Santa Fe Institute, following pioneering researchers as they explore how order and organized behavior arise from simple interactions in physical, biological and social systems. The book combines personal portraits with clear explanations of ideas and tools—self-organization, emergence, phase transitions, cellular automata, agent-based models and evolutionary algorithms—and shows how these concepts illuminate phenomena from ecosystems and evolution to markets and brains, arguing that the “edge of chaos” is where rich, adaptive behavior is found.
