     Dear Michel,


 *Google as God?*

*"..*strongly variable, highly complex systems cannot be properly managed
by planning, optimization and top-down control. This calls for a
fundamental paradigm shift.*"*

 In this article, written by Dirk Helbing of ETH Zurich, Dirk looks at the
fundamental tension between top-down surveillance and control in a global
social system that is growing ever more complex and unstable.  We need a
paradigm shift, Dirk argues, to what he calls a "democratic, participatory
market society".  A thought-provoking essay from one of Europe's leading
complexity theorists.
