{"product_id":"1579584","title":"Emergence: The Connected Lives Of Ants, Brains, Cities And Software by Steven Johnson","description":"Steven Johnson's Emergence : The Connected Lives of Ants, Brains, Cities and Software is a fascinating look at how self-organising systems are changing the world. Why do people cluster together in neighborhoods? How do internet communities spring up from nowhere? Why is a brain conscious even though no single neuron is? What causes a media frenzy? The answer, as Steven Johnson's groundbreaking book shows, is emergence: change that occurs from the bottom up. When enough individual elements interact and organize themselves, the result is collective intelligence - even though no-one is in charge. It is a phenomenon that exists at every level of experience, and will revolutionize the way we see the world. This 2002 Penguin Paperback is in \u003cb\u003e fair condition\u003c\/b\u003e.
