Newtonian physics described a regular, clock-like world of forces and reaction; randomness was equated with incomplete knowledge. But scientists in the late twentieth century have found patterns in things formerly thought to be "chaotic"; their theories help explain the unstable, irregular, yet highly structured features of everyday experience. It now seems likely that randomness and chaos play an essential role in the evolution of the living world—and in intelligence itself.

Complexity & Chaos
This was the kind of book that has me stopping every few paragraphs to grasp what was just said and writing all kinds of interrelated ideas down once I "got" it. It has motivated me to get back to some of the subjects I've been fascinated with over the last year or two (values come from metaphorical thought, for example). I'm also interested to learn more about chaos.
There was a bit of a slow chunk in the middle when it got into artificial intelligence. A sort of parents on Charlie Brown feeling of wah-wah-wah-wah-wah-wah-wah and it was difficult for me to follow. Other than that, it was challenging in a great way. It was a sort of basic primer or text book, I suppose, on these concepts. I liked how it was accessible but not too dumbed-down.
