In Overcomplicated, complexity scientist Samuel Arbesman offers a fresh, insightful field guide to living with complex technologies that defy human comprehension. As technology grows more complex, Arbesman argues, its behavior mimics the vagaries of the natural world more than it conforms to a mathematical model. If we are to survive and thrive in this new age, we must abandon our need for governing principles and rules and accept the chaos.

Left me wanting a bit more out of it
Revisado: 06-14-18
The examples presented in the book were fascinating, and certainly makes you rethink approaching complex systems (which are everywhere). However, I was hoping for a bit more conclusions as to mental models and approaches to take regarding complex systems. The book does go into biological and physics approaches to thinking about complex systems but I wish the insights here were a bit more.

In most domains of life, skill and luck seem hopelessly entangled. Different levels of skill and varying degrees of good and bad luck are the realities that shape our lives - yet few of us are adept at accurately distinguishing between the two. Imagine what we could accomplish if we were able to tease out these two threads, examine them, and use the resulting knowledge to make better decisions. In this provocative audiobook, Michael Mauboussin helps to untangle these intricate strands.

Not a Great Audiobook
Revisado: 06-02-18
The book is bit repetitive, but helpful in understand key concepts and the importance of thinking in probabilities and understand the role of luck in many outcomes. Unfortunately, this was not a great audiobook as it was sometimes hard to understand the statistical references without being able to view the charts or graphs being referenced.
