Description
One of the greatest discoveries of recent times is that the complex patterns we find in life are often produced when all of the individuals in a group follow the same simple rule. This process of self-organisation reveals itself in the inanimate worlds of crystals and seashells, but, as Len Fisher shows, it is also evident in living organisms, from fish to ants to human beings. This is called "swarm intelligence."Humorous and enlightening, "The Perfect Swarm" reveals how complexity arises from nature's simple rules, and how we can use their awesome power to untangle the frustrating chaos of life in our evermore complicated world.
