# God’s Dice

Oh boy, ANOTHER chaos book. The Chaos book industry has a problem. The first books in the field were of such a quality that their successors just don’t have much of anywhere to go. Mandelbrot’s The Beauty of Fractals collected examples of all the current graphic incarnations of the field, while Glick’s Chaos, The Making of a New Science provided a high standard for textural explanations of what is going on.
