In an interview given to The Guardian, Giorgio Parisi stated that he wrote this slim book as an attempt to "make the public aware of what science is and how science and culture are intertwined. The original idea was to describe how science is done. There's a growing lack of trust in science...In order to address this, it is very important to show how scientists do their work."

Written with straightforward charm, he begins the book exploring the murmurations of starlings and follows the metaphor to explore complexity of interdependence as it shows up in the dynamics of culture as well as nature.
