I read this quite a while ago, and can't remember it at all. What did you think of it?

Loved this when I was a kid.

The Gleick book is a good quick introduction to complexity.
Introduction to the Theory of Complex Systems is an incredible second book on the subject but it wouldn't be fair to compare it to the Gleick book.
I enjoyed How The World Really Works also.
It’s a great introduction to chaos theory and emergent phenomena. Makes you look at the world in a different way!
