- Systemantics - The Systems Bible - Jon Jagger regularly posts snippets from books he’s read on his blog. I think this is an excellent habit, that has helped me to discover some very interesting books, so I want to start doing the same. The book “Systemantics. The Systems Bible” by John Gall is a classic work from 1975. It deals mostly with the idea that one cannot simply design a large complex system, and expect to predict its entire set of behaviours. It’s one of those books that help you see the world as it is. [Mathias Verraes]
