The Demon in the Machine
How does life create order from chaos? And just what is life, anyway?
Book • 2018
In this book, Paul Davies explores the intersection of biology, computing, logic, chemistry, quantum physics, and nanotechnology to understand the nature of life.
He argues that information is a key component that unifies biology with physics, enabling living organisms to resist entropy and perform complex functions.
Davies draws on concepts such as Maxwell's demon and the processing of information at cellular and molecular levels to explain how life emerges and sustains itself.
The book covers topics ranging from the origins of life to consciousness, highlighting the central role of information in biological processes.
