Status Updates From On Complexity

In about 10 days the author celebrates his hundredth birthday. Now, if that isn't a good reason for a re-read?!

Instant favorite.

This is the closest I've come to the possibility of a mysticism of academic caliber. This, read beside Tainter's "Collapse of Complex Societies," makes me feel, I don't know how to say it, like, mmm, something along the lines of, like, 'mature', maybe. This is certainly one of the most profound and not pessimistic books I've read this year.
