In Life Finds a Way, biologist Andreas Wagner reveals the deep symmetry between innovation in biological evolution and human cultural creativity. Rarely is either a linear climb to perfection - instead, "progress" is typically marked by a sequence of peaks, plateaus, and pitfalls. For instance, in Picasso's 40-some iterations of Guernica, we see the same combination of small steps, incessant reshuffling, and large, almost reckless, leaps that characterize the way evolution transformed a dinosaur's grasping claw into a condor's soaring wing.

New favorite complexity book!
Revisado: 08-01-19
I have been casually reading books about complexity for a few years now and was instantly excited about this book when it came out. Most pop sci books on complexity deal with biology from the outside looking in. Wagner looks out on the world of complexity from a biological foundation. I finished this book a couple weeks ago and the ideas inside are still actively swimming around in my head. The detailed exploration of landscape thinking in many complex systems has me exploring the idea further to solve everyday problems. I reinterpret situations in terms of landscape thinking as you soon will too.
