Emergence: The Connected Lives of Ants, Brains, Cities, and Software
Paperback Hardcover Kindle EditionIn "Emergence: The Connected Lives of Ants, Brains, Cities, and Software," author Steven Johnson explores the concept of emergence, which refers to how complex systems can arise from a collection of simple agents that interact with one another. Through examples such as ant colonies, human brains, and cities, Johnson explains how emergent systems can adapt, self-organize, and solve problems in ways that are greater than the sum of their parts. The book also explores how software and technology can exhibit emergent properties, and how this understanding of emergence can inform our approach to designing and managing complex systems. Ultimately, "Emergence" offers a compelling framework for understanding the underlying principles behind the seemingly unpredictable behavior of complex systems.
