I would rate this book between a 4 and a 4,5/5. It tackles an exceptionally interesting topic, that is the one about structures complexity and intelligent systems, which is a topic that I found myself thinking about very often. The only reason I don't give full 5 stars is because I felt there were some forced mathematical formulas/technical terms into the mix, just to give it a more scientific look. I consider myself with an above average level of knowledge in Artificial Intelligence and got some I would rate this book between a 4 and a 4,5/5.

I consider myself with an above average level of knowledge in Artificial Intelligence and got some trouble following some line of thoughts in the latter chapters (Back matter). But the vast majority of the book was definitely a pleasant read, full of sources. You can tell the author is well informed and is a bright individual. Easy read, definitely recommend; but could have been even easier.

Okay so I had a very specific motivation for reading this book and it ended up not being what I expected it to be. I'm not mad though, because it meant I got to read this book that I probably would not have read otherwise. This was a good read. Easy to follow for the most part, accessibly written and very interesting. It made me laugh a few times too, which I love. Also big yay for this being open access!!
