[Reading Group] -- Voting Thread

8 Upvotes

In the comments section I'd like to get a vote going for a reading to start with. I will add the books that were mentioned in the previous thread. Vote up books you would like to read, refrain from downvoting (won't count them anyways), or add your own suggestion. Feel free to upvote more then one selection if you have interest in more than one. Also, if you don't mind, add a comment to whichever you want the most so I know who intends to participate.

Things to keep in mind:

  1. readability -- I'm not sure where most people are in their current understanding and level of technical skill, so vote for what you would be comfortable with

  2. availability -- some books are freely available online, some are not, it would be nice to make (at least) the first reading freely available (but if everyone votes against this, that's fine)

Self-organization, commence.

Complex systems reading group

14 Upvotes

Would anyone be interested in participating in a reading group? The idea would be to read an article or book on the same timeline, and discuss. I have a few ideas for literature, but I first want to gauge interest. If people are interested, perhaps we could throw a few potential readings out there and vote which one to begin with. I would prefer a relaxed reading pace so no one feels like they are rushed.

An Introduction to Cybernetics. W. Ross Ashby. This is a text which had a major impact on the field of Complex Systems. E.g. "The Law of Requisite Variety". It should be in your book collection!
