michielstock's review against another edition
4.0
This is quite a difficult book to rate. Though it was was well written by an expert in the field, the overload of information can make it a less enjoyable popular science book.
I know quite a lot about evolution, complexity, dynamical systems and the like, but nearly nothing about brains. At moment it seems Sporns had a reader with opposite background in mind as he freely throws in terms of neuroanatomy, mostly explaining only the concepts of other fields. But apart from this, this it contains a wealth of interesting information, linking ideas discussed by well known scientists such as Dawkins, Wagner, Strogatz, Friston etc.
Definitely recommend it to those interested in brain science and, to some extend, to those with interest in complexity, AI and the likes
