Good article. I find this to be one of those rarer cases where a popular article on mathematics is both precise enough to be informative and accessible enough to maintain the audience. The only part I dislike is the title. But perhaps that was the editors. I do commend the author though on managing to write this part: "The fact that Kolmogorov complexity is not computable is a result in pure mathematics and we should never confuse that pristine realm with the far more complicated, and messy, real world. However, there are certain common themes about Kolmogorov complexity theory that we might take with us when thinking about the real world." I am not well versed in any of Kolmogorov's work, but the introduction certainly makes the spirit of his work much clearer.
