Deep Simplicity: Bringing Order to Chaos and Complexity

Deep Simplicity: Bringing Order to Chaos and Complexity (2004) by John Gribbin is a popular science book about chaos theory and complex systems. Gribbin explains how simple physical laws can give rise to unpredictable behavior and intricate patterns, from weather and turbulence to earthquakes, ecosystems and the origins of life. He traces the ideas from Newton through modern chaos and complexity science, arguing that much of the world's richness grows out of a few simple rules.
