Christian's Reviews > Notes on Complexity: A Scientific Theory of Connection, Consciousness, and Being

The first half was fantastic, distilling down the key components of complexity quite well for a layperson like myself. As the book shifts into quantum mechanics it gets pretty challenging to follow but I’ll chalk that up to the inherent density of the subject matter. But when he delves into consciousness and religion, I got completely lost and disinterested. I couldn’t find the thread between the first half and his discussion of religions. Maybe it’s simply too much to accomplish in one book. Or maybe I should’ve gotten the hint based on the title of the book that it’s “notes” on complexity rather than a unified thesis (which probably would require a book 3x the length to properly bring the reader along).
