"Every once in a while, you read a book so powerful and with such a radical view that you realize your world is changed forever...

Kauffman is a pioneer of the new science of complexity, which sees in the world of nature an inner force of its own, not mystical but scientific. This insight touches something deep in each of us, as we yearn to understand the order we see in nature. Kauffman shares his discover with us, with lucidity, wit, and cogent argument, and we see his vision.

Many will embrace it, as I did, and will gaze on the world anew."
