As a scientist, I am intrigued by Nadin's precise and convincing arguments in favor of "anticipation" as a characteristic of living being. Each idea is carefully phrased. Solid scientific foundation along with extraordinary images make this a book to be read and discussed for a long time. This is also a book that my friends will enjoy receiving.

When a book makes you to think about what you do without thinking it is a great book. Images are powerful...I was able to understand difficult concepts. The design is one of the best I ever saw. Great artist...And the text is clear. I was lucky, 3 languages available It helps someone who is not an English speaking person...

If you want to read the oddest book you've ever seen, this one's for you. I would buy it just to see how it was written. I've shown it to other people as a talking piece and we have trouble figuring out which pages are upside down or which way to hold the book? One of the most difficult books to understand you will ever see, but his friends obviously loved it from the other reviews. It was in different languages on the same page, it had columns that reversed themselves on the same page. One column you read with the book turned one way, then you have to turn the book and read it another way, and the columns switched font colors. This book would have been a dream for the Haight-Ashbury crowd of the 1960s. This book is more of an artistic piece than informative narrative. I do believe in the concept of the title though.

The idea of carefully looking at anticipation makes me think about my planning processes for developing products. I am amazed at what basic things we overlook.
