An eye-opening look at the discovery of a revolutionary computer technology and how it is changing our world. Fuzzy Logic is both a disturbing object lesson in shortsighted business practices and an exciting tour of a high-tech world where visionary computer scientists are inventing the future--if only somebody would listen.

Complexity and Postmodernism explores the notion of complexity in the light of contemporary perspectives from philosophy and science. The book integrates insights from complexity and computational theory with the philosophical position of thinkers including Derrida and Lyotard. Paul Cilliers takes a critical stance towards the use of the analytical method as a tool to cope with complexity, and he rejects Searle's superficial contribution to the debate.
