I’m concerned about the climate crisis, but I didn’t pick A-level subjects that would teach me about it, like geography or chemistry. WHO OR WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO STUDY CHEMISTRY? I was at home, watching my friends go to school, so I chose chemistry, just so I could leave the house and be able to go to university!

And so it was that in 1985 I began to promote the idea of a new field of “complex systems research”, or, for short “complexity”—fueled by the discoveries I’d made about things like cellular automata. And while they used computers as practical tools, they never made the jump to seeing computation as a core paradigm for thinking about science.
