The world around us seems to be a complex place. The great insight of DEEP SIMPLICITY is that chaos and complexity obey simple laws. Essentially they are the same straightforward principles that Isaac Newton discovered more than three hundred yearsago. Gribbin shows how the revolutionary introduction of "feedback" allowed the long established scientific understanding of simple laws to explain (although not predict) the seemingly inexplicable behaviour of weather systems, stock markets, earthquakes, as well as people.
In a phrase attributed to Murray Gell-Mann, the complicated behaviour of the world we see around us is merely "surface complexity arising out of deep simplicity."

John Gribbin is among the greatest writers of popular science and is author of In Search of Schrödinger's Cat, Stardust, and Science: A History.
"His gift lies not just in eloquent and lucid presentation of complicated ideas, but in writing aboutthem as if they were adventures."
- The Financial Times
