About This Book

Emergence examines how order and intelligence can emerge from decentralized interactions.

The book draws connections between biological systems like ant colonies and human-made networks.

Johnson explores examples from cities, software, and the brain to illustrate these patterns.

Readers gain insight into how complexity arises without central control or design.
