An original work that puts into question the norms in scientific methodology and introduces an innovative way of understanding the universe. In the story, the author studies the origins of complex systems and patterns with rather elementary rules by means of simple computer programs, or so-called "cellular automata. According to the book, this class of simple algorithms may in fact be responsible for much of the complexity in nature, from the growth of plants to the human brain. This would imply that the universe itself may operate under the same laws and thus prove a severe paradigm shift in our understanding of science and laws of nature.
