Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A pack of wolves and a besieging army are doing the same thing. So are a surveillance state, a spreading wildfire, a cornered commodity market, and a species sliding toward extinction. In each case something is being closed in on, and its room to move is shrinking toward a single point.Synalo…sis is the name David Boles gives to that operation and to the shape it always draws. A target has a set of futures still open to it: the ground it can still cross, the moves it can still make, the prices it can still get. Predation, siege, criminal investigation, monopoly, epidemic control, addiction, and the recommendation engine on your phone are one process, that set of open futures squeezed step by step until a single outcome is all that remains.Drawing on military history, ecology, epidemiology, game theory, and the mathematics of pursuit, the book follows one skeleton through more than a dozen worlds. It names the four faces the operation wears. It marks the difference between the rings a commanding mind draws, a general, a detective, a monopolist, and the ones that close with nothing behind them at all, a fire, a bank run, a dying lineage. And it asks the question that matters to anything caught inside a closing ring.What can a target still do The answer is three cuts. Blind the sensor that is finding you. Outrun the closer before the walls meet. Poison the gradient it follows with a false trail. From a moth jamming a bat's sonar to a wartime deception that moved an army, the same three escapes recur, along with the moments when none of them is left.Synalosis is a book about the geometry of being hunted, and about the narrow, real freedom that survives while the walls are still moving. For readers who want a single idea that reorganizes how the world works, here is one shape, followed everywhere it goes.
