I assume you've read GEB. That wanders all over the map, and is fascinating for it. "Complexity" by Roger Lewin is a sort of journalistic take on the early history of the slightly vague field of complexity science. But its fairly interesting. "The Computational Beauty of Nature" by Microsoft R&D dude Rob Flake might also be a good candidate. "The Jaguar and the Quark" by Gell-Mann, complexity theorist and Feynman nemesis, is enjoyable too. A complexity theorist friend of mine also recommended Rudy Rucker's "The Lifebox, The Seashell, and the Soul" to me, but I haven't read it. "Darwin Among the Machines" by Freeman Dyson's son (!) is frigging great, but that's now getting off topic. |
