This book is in essence a symposium on the subject, with physicists and biologists approaching it from a variety of different angles.
Does complexity have a direction as entropy has a direction--does it inevitably increase over time? How does complexity increase in the inanimate physical universe? How does it increase in biological systems? Do we have any sensible way to arrive at an agreed measure of complexity in living beings and systems?
It's a fascinating subject, and this is a challenging and very interesting read, with contributions from a wide range of perspectives on complexity.
