  • Of Ants and Men

    The Unexpected Side Effects of Complexity in Society

    by David G. Green ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    Why do things go wrong? Why, despite all the planning and care in the world, do things go from bad to worse? This book argues that it is because we are like the ants. Just as ants create an anthill without being aware of it, unintended side effects of human activity create all manner of social trends and crises. The book traces the way these trends emerge and the role they play in some of the ... Read more
