Simplexity: Why Simple Things Become Complex (and How Complex Things Can Be Made Simple)

Buy

"Sure to be a deserved hit among the ever-growing Freakonomics crowd."
--Booklist

"Kluger makes the modern world comprehensible."
--Publishers Weekly

"A fascinating journey."
--Library Journal

Sometimes a complex problem has an easy solution. And sometimes there's more to a simple thing than first appears.

In Simplexity, Time senior writer Jeffrey Kluger shows how a drinking straw can save thousands of lives, how a million cars can be on the streets but just a few hundred of them can lead to gridlock, how investors behave like atoms; how arithmetic governs abstract art and physics drives jazz, and why swatting a TV indeed makes it work better.

Kluger adeptly translates newly evolving science into a delightful theory of everything that will have you rethinking the rules of business, family, art--your world.
