This is a well crafted work by a great writer who tries to explain a complicated science filled with scientific buzz words as a more simple and understandable science. You really need some understanding of science and research to understand this work. Basically to me it is about non-linear complex systems that have threads of non-randomness, that if they can be understood, can open the door to the future for great advances in science, engineering, and civilization. As an engineer this work helped clarify many of the processes I have encountered and provides great historical background about what is Chaos Theory.
