Looking Sideways Episode 10 — Ross Atkin
How do humans create order out of chaos? Why are we always tidying up? And why doesn’t nature bother? What can we learn from natural systems about creating meaning in the physical world, and what’s this got to do with the internet of things?
All these questions are answered in this episode of Looking Sideways, the world’s most partially informed podcast.
