As a fan of the Santa Fe Institute and the cutting-edge research of Complexity Science, I found this to be an informative, fun, and provocative read. The author challenges established ways of viewing the world by embracing the unknown, the chaotic, the mysterious.

After I finished reading it, I was inspired to read it again. Lots of food for thought.
