Welcome to Frankenstein’s World. It is a world where the explosion of intelligence and information produces complexity and uncertainty. It is a world of Black Swans and Wicked Problems. It is a world where tipping points and unintended consequences lurk around every corner. Cause and effect are no longer easily discerned. The blog is dedicated to connecting dots that exist in the world and illuminating the dimly lit border between complexity and chaos.

Educated as a political scientist, I have always been fascinated by how one thing connects to another and by complex systems. I retired after a 40 year plus career in software technology performing a wide range of roles including, programming, architecture, project management, and product development. The writing is my own: no LLMs were harmed during the making of the posts. I will try to post on a monthly basis.
