Opis

Simplifying complexity explores how to eliminate ignorance, which in the view of the author is the purpose of the sciences and technologies and their consequent developments. The book deals with the plurality of the sciences and technologies. It is about the way in which each of them develops around the prosthetics of printed languages and the models used as visual aids to help us create new modes of communication and solve human problems.
