Reviews
A must read for everyone who has ever wondered 'What If?' and felt unprepared to rigorously generate possible answers ... The chapter on intelligent systems is especially timely, and covers artificial intelligence and machine learning from a fresh perspective. * Jim Spohrer, Director, Cognitive OpenTech at IBM *
Computing Possible Futures provides a compelling approach to systems thinking, as well as an array of tools for exploring what might happen and leading indicators of likely futures. * Denis A. Cortese MD, Foundation Professor, Arizona State University *
The hope is that readers will discuss this book and develop a 'shared mental model' of computational modeling in the process, which will greatly enhance their chances of success. * MathSciNet *
