This book chronicles Arthur's struggle pushing his theories through mainstream academia and how that ultimately led to the creation of the Sante Fe Institute. It's a narrative mixed with an overview of the creation of complexity theory and many of the concepts he (and others) came up with that changed economic thinking.
