About this listen

The Limit of Complexity is a philosophical investigation into one of the defining conditions of the contemporary world: the moment when complexity, once a source of power and progress, begins to turn against the systems that generate it. Moving across natural systems, economics, technology, politics, ethics, and human cognition, Boris Kriger examines how accumulation, interconnection, and scale quietly transform coherence into fragility. This audiobook does not oppose complexity, nor does it idealize simplicity. Instead, it reveals the hidden thresholds beyond which additional layers no longer produce insight, stability, or freedom, but erode them from within. With rigorous clarity and interdisciplinary depth, Kriger shows how modern systems collapse not from failure of intelligence, but from excess of it—when coordination outgrows comprehension, when connectivity outpaces meaning, and when growth loses orientation. Written for listeners who sense that something essential is being lost beneath ever-expanding structures, The Limit of Complexity offers a mature vision of simplicity as an achievement rather than a retreat: a form of intellectual and ethical discernment capable of preserving meaning, responsibility, and human scale in an overconnected world.
