Adaptive Systems: Essential Edition

The complete book in all digital formats.

ADAPTIVE SYSTEMS is the framework for building organizations that can actually adapt. Not theory. Not critique. A design discipline.

Based on forensic analysis of what actually worked (Estonia's digital government, Taiwan's civic technology, DARPA, the Federal Reserve) and what failed (the EU's pandemic response).
