Consider Complexity by Roger Lewin. Recommended by 3 sources.

“Roger Lewin writes in an accessible, narrative-driven style that surveys the rise of complexity across biology, physics, and computation. What works best is broad synthesis—Lewin stitches stories, models, and historical episodes into an intelligible map for curious, science-literate readers. Main limitation: depth varies; technical passages and metaphor-heavy sections coexist, so the book won't satisfy those wanting rigorous math or step-by-step methods. Some case studies and examples can feel dated, reducing immediacy for readers seeking current follow-ups.”
