Systems and Things

I have tried to separate the ‘archive’ into lists of books that are sort of related in subject matter. The books in this list are all about systems, complexity and associated subjects. That said, there is still an element of the arbitrary, in that whatever classification is chosen it is inevitable that some books fall in more than one – which is where the tags come in handy for the main list.

These are merely books that I would recommend – it is not a complete list. I intend to add to this list as and when I get inspiration and, as a rule of thumb, the nearer the top of the list a book appears the more important I rate it – but that is not an absolute rule.

In some cases I will create, at a later date, an individual post for some of the books here (and will then delete them from this list).
