Interacting Humans
Social systems—defined here as large groups of humans relating with each other—are complex in the sense considered here. But it is surprising that, although these systems comprise apparently free and intelligent elements, certain social behaviour observed

The Frontiers Collection
Series Editors A. C. Elitzur L. Mersini-Houghton M. A. Schlosshauer M. P. Silverman J. A. Tuszynski R. Vaas H. D. Zeh
The books in this collection are devoted to challenging and open problems at the forefront of modern science, including related philosophical debates. In contrast to typical research monographs, however, they strive to present their topics in a manner accessible also to scientifically literate non-specialists wishing to gain insight into the deeper implications and fascinating questions involved. Taken as a whole, the series reflects the need for a fundamental and interdisciplinary approach to modern science. Furthermore, it is intended to encourage active scientists in all areas to ponder over important and perhaps controversial issues beyond their own speciality. Extending from quantum physics and relativity to entropy, consciousness and complex systems—the Frontiers Collection will inspire readers to push back the frontiers of their own knowledge.
