In a rented convent in Santa Fe, a revolution has been brewing. The activists are not anarchists, but rather Nobel Laureates in physics and economics such as Murray Gell-Mann and Kenneth Arrow, and pony-tailed graduate students, mathematicians, and computer scientists down from Los Alamos. They've formed an iconoclastic think tank called the Santa Fe Institute, and their radical idea is to create a new science called complexity. These mavericks from academe share a deep impatience with the kind of linear, reductionist thinking that has dominated science since the time of Newton. Instead, they are gathering novel ideas about interconnectedness, coevolution, chaos, structure, and order - and they're forging them into an entirely new, unified way of thinking about nature, human social behavior, life, and the universe itself. They want to know how a primordial soup of simple molecules managed to turn itself into the first living cell - and what the origin of life some four billion years ago can tell us about the process of technological innovation today. They want to know why ancient ecosystems often remained stable for millions of years, only to vanish in a geological instant - and what such events have to do with the sudden collapse of Soviet communism in the late 1980s. They want to know why the economy can behave in unpredictable ways that economists can't explain - and how the random process of Darwinian natural selection managed to produce such wonderfully intricate structures as the eye and the kidney. Above all, they want to know how the universe manages to bring forth complex structures such as galaxies, stars, planets, bacteria, plants, animals, and brains. There are commonthreads in all of these queries, and these Santa Fe scientists seek to understand them. Complexity is their story: the messy, funny, human story of how science really happens. Here is the tale of Brian Arthur, the Belfast-born economist who stubbornly pushed his theories of economic ch

《复杂》这本书的出版可以说给中国的学术界打开了一扇窗子,让我们真正的了解了国外的复杂性科学。有人称《复杂》这本书是复杂性科学的“圣经”我看也一点不为过。《复杂》类似于纪实小说,读起来轻松愉快,然而这也许会让不熟悉的人摸不到头脑,因为单单从每一章的标题根...

看了上面的各位的评价 特意下载拜读一下 感觉很糟糕 文笔差 结构乱 碎言碎语 杂七杂八 举的一些例子很一般 也没有深入的理论和阐述 所说的只是一些目前已经普遍认识和感觉到的东西,对创新应用没有太多启发,对了解历史也没有多少激励。 与《量子史话》差距太远

如果说作家是人类的良心,那么科学家毫无疑义的担当起了人类的智力。他们用他们非凡美妙的想象力和无比坚韧的毅力带领着我们,领略世界,了解自己。 首先,我相信这本书对大多数人来说会是一个很丰富的阅读过程,其间涉及的从生物化学宇宙起源的物理探索到电子人工智能跨领域...

我相信即便没有什么理科背景的读者也会被此书吸引,作者诙谐幽默的语言跟老道的叙事手法让此书堪比一流的小说。 里面的人物都被刻画得栩栩如生,他们性格各异,或张扬或沉稳,但是都有一个共同点,那便是对世界的探索欲,对未知规律永恒的好奇心。 当然,最激动人心的还是能...

第一次看这本书是在大学图书馆阅览室,当时偶然看到这本书便撒不了手,差点让我挂了一门专业课. 这本书不是讲具体的哪门科学或者技术,而是讲的一种考虑问题的方式,也就是马哲里边说的方法论吧. 全书以小说的形式展开去,将要阐述的观点散布在故事情节中,避免了令人望而却步的生硬...

比另一本Complexity更具故事性和领域上的丰富性

评分

此书的经典性不用赘述,我甚至进而认为人人都该读一下它。虽然在今时今日仍有很多人在日常生活中坚持简单粗暴的二分法,即便是在科研领域也不得不挥动奥卡姆剃刀阉割大量问题,复杂科学一定是未来的大方向,是大部分人重新认识世界和自己的必经之路。本书是带有传记性质的科普读物,通过数位主人公的科研经历叙述复杂科学从无到有的一段历史故事,每一个主人公都是牛人,但他们的最终成功却都不是一帆风顺,有时候几乎会令人叹息其辛苦执着的痛苦之深。在读故事的时候,一个个科学概念扑面而来,作者用文字解释,而没有罗列数学公式,想必是为入门级读者所考虑,而这并不会影响大家的理解,只不过需要从事复杂科学实践工作的人当然必须去参阅其它专业书。总之,这本书能帮助人改变自己过去浅薄的眼界,开启对于科学和社会生活中事物的高级认识,必五星。

生命和经济系统根据简单规则就能演化成复杂的形态很是让人振奋 不过这种从底层赋予规则和最新AI的连规则都不赋予孰优孰略还需再读几本....
