This book is full of fascinating information. Wetware is a book about the cell, it discusses the mechanics of signal transmission, the relationships between the various parts of the cell and the emergent phenomenon that result from a cell's architecture on a case by case basis from protazoa and amoeba to our nerve cells. The commentary describes both the complexity of the cell in terms of its adaptability to a diverse ecosystem as well as the plausible origins of how such complexity evolved. The book argues a strong evolutionary case about life and its origins.Most of the book is very readable and gives the non-expert an insight into how through diffusion cells react and signals are processed. Cases are studied and the strategies of such single celled organisms such as the ameoba are discussed in strong detail. Examples of environmental sensitivity are discussed and "intelligence" to the extent that even single cells have architecture that allow them to dynamically adapt are explored. The exploration of the single cell is the most interesting, likely because it can be studied in isolation and thus its easier to discuss a single cells properties than a multi-celled organism. The book goes through a lot of interesting material, it discusses RNA, protein structures and dynamics and neural networks. The Neural networks portion is a good overview of how they work and how they can be used in a machine setting to obtain interesting results. As the book gets into the multicelled aspect, the quality doesnt go down so much as the material can be slightly overwhelming. Despite that, the themes of the book can still be gleaned despite some of the specifics being a bit hard to follow.One reads this book and really mavels at the complexity of the single cell. The author gives a good example at the end - the fruitfly is able to, with negligble energy, navigate efficiently, the computing power required for humans to replicate that is of a very different order of magnitute. The cell is of microscopic size but astronomical complexity and that is where one must stop in awe and appreciate the amazing depth of life. This book takes the reader on that journey. The author tries to only take what can be observed and doesnt try to fill the gaps with intelligent design. He shows how genetic programming results show that solutions to complicated problems show up unexpectedly in evolutionary settings and that is no evidence of design. I found this book to really revitalize the idea that life is truly astonishing. It is not only astonishing from the perspective of muticelled organisms and our own self awareness, but more foundationally, from the single cell and up. I highly recommend this, it should be read by all.
This is one of the most well written books by a premiere scientist of his field.If the biomechanical operations on the cellular scale garnered the interest on par with astrophysics, this would be the "Brief history of time" in this field.I've read a lot of nonfiction science books, generally to get good research ideas from seemingly unrelated subjects, but this is one of the best. Not limited by the burdens of an academical paper to provide the gritty details, yet sufficiently broad while in depth to commandeer the breadth and scope of the field. Not as cumbersome as Penrose's "road to reality", less fanciful than "Godel Escher Bach", not as lightweight as "Elegant universe".This is a truly great work in how to convey science to the general public.And No, it won't teach you everything. The examples are selective and not generally applicable. Things work differently in different organisms and in different viewpoints. This is not a book for the professional. This is just to let you grasp an idea of the field. Take it with a grain of salt, as you should do with ALL reading.
This is a beautiful book, and Bray is an uncommonly good writer. He explains the inner workings of a cell, and the relationships between cells and their environments, with clarity and elegance, no mean feat given their complexity. He also does a nice job of comparing how cells work with how a computer works, and is also clear that while there are definite parallels, living cells outstrip human-made computers in complexity, flexibility and adaptability, and even, in some ways, in computing, though not mathematical, power.Another thing I liked about this book is Bray's curiosity. He takes Barbara McClintock's 1983 suggestion "To determine the extent of knowledge the cell has of itself" as a point of departure in explaining how the cell works and as a goal and goad for future scientists. How does a cell know what to do, which decision to make at any given time? As Bray shows, each cell has a lot of possible choices; there's a lot going on in the primordial soup of a cell's world. And as we come to understand how to answer those questions and others like them, what implications do the answers have, if any, on human psychology and the way we consciously and unconsciously make decisions? Bray is clear that he doesn't know, but also clear and prescient in asking the questions and encouraging others to ask. We know a great deal about cell biology but there is still much, much more to learn.Near the end of the book, Bray quotes French writer Andre Gide: "One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time." So true and so inspiring!I very highly recommend this book: 5 stars.
Of course, one should not expect a novel nor the pleasure of reading a novel from a book of this kind. However, the writing style is both informative and entertaining and the subject-matter intriguing. That there is another kind of communication and computation within living systems that is not involved with the nervous system leads to all kinds of fascinating material on which to speculate and investigate. Dr. Bray takes us on this journey of discovery and analysis and makes it easy for a layman such as myself to learn and appreciate these matters.
This is a high school senior level introduction to discoveries in biochemistry. The read is easy for the subject; for example, how cells seem to react logically (i.e. with a brain) to their environment is slowly and systematically shown to be done by chemistry. Cell simulations using neural networks are treated lightly with an outlined example; then the reader is cautioned that any simulations are too simple for real cells. The style is a bit wordy; but you will be introduced to topics which you can penetrate further using Google.
