At Home In The Universe by Stuart A. Kauffman
The Search for Laws of Self-Organization and Complexity
Presents a framework in which life and biological complexity emerge largely through spontaneous self-organization—phase transitions to collectively autocatalytic chemical networks—complementing natural selection; introduces ideas such as the “adjacent possible” and uses rugged fitness landscapes (NK models) to explain innovation, coevolution, and the generation of order from simple interactions, arguing that complexity and purposelike structures can be natural, law-compatible outcomes rather than miracles.
