A book by Murray Gell-Mann, a winner of the
Nobel Prize in
Physics in
1969.
It is mostly about
complex adaptive systems, which are systems that learn or evolve by utilizing acquired
information.
It discusses everything from
Particle Physics, language,
bacteria,
superstitions.. and many other seemingly non-related things.
This is not a technical book. It doesn't go too deeply in physics or
particle physics. I found the cover to be misleading to what the book really covered.
It's first 10 chapters are
redundant and could have been summed up in 1 chapter.
This book is a
Sunday afternoon book. Read the inside of the book jacket, and you read the book.
