An Introduction to General Systems Thinking (Book Review)

We bought this book written by Gerald M. Weinberg some time ago when we recognized that systems approach was needed for memory dump analysis. However, we read it only recently while preparing to talk on systemic software diagnostics¹²⁹. While reading we realized that we already applied some systems theory ideas, for example, about isomorphism of disciplines as systems (which we named as metaphorical bijection): from literary narratology to software narratology and from that to network trace analysis. So if you are interested in systems either computer software ones or human organizational then we would greatly recommend this book as an introduction. The recommended literature in exercises is also useful.
