Product Information
Steven Johnson’s Emergence: The Connected Lives of Ants, Brains, Cities and Software is a fascinating look at how self-organising systems are changing the world.
Why do people cluster together in neighborhoods? How do internet communities spring up from nowhere? Why is a brain conscious even though no single neuron is? What causes a media frenzy?
The answer, as Steven Johnson’s groundbreaking book shows, is emergence: change that occurs from the bottom up. When enough individual elements interact and organize themselves, the result is collective intelligence – even though no-one is in charge. It is a phenomenon that exists at every level of experience, and will revolutionize the way we see the world.
