If you’re someone who finds conventional binary logic too rigid and you're intrigued by the potential of embracing complexity and ambiguity, "Fuzzy Thinking" might resonate with you. Bart Kosko introduces a world where nuance is king and the traditional black-and-white view of technology and logic gets a much-needed gray area. This book could change how you perceive and interact with the digital world around you.

Description
A washing machine that gauges each load to determine how much soap to use. An air conditioner that constantly adjusts cooling strength based on room temperature. These "smart" products are possible with the advent of fuzzy logic, the principle that's revolutionizing science. Now, its chief proponent presents a brilliant, popular account of the field called the new chaos.
