Foundational Papers in Complexity Science: Volume 2 - 7336

In four volumes, Foundational Papers in Complexity Science maps the development of complex-systems science through eighty-nine revolutionary works published across the twentieth century. Volume 2 spans the utopian–dystopian years from 1962 to 1973, a decade of global instability, social revolution, space exploration, and growing ecological awareness. Complexity science challenges our understanding of prediction, control, and uncertainty. Included in this volume are essential papers by John von Neumann, Philip Anderson, Herbert Simon, and Thomas Schelling. Each paper is introduced, and placed into its historical context, with enduring insights discussed by leading contemporary complexity scientists. Foundational Papers presents the first unified chart of the full territory of complexity science—an essential resource for navigating the modern world.
