I thought this was going to be about the popsci book with a similar name: Chaos: Making a New Science

Ah, I loved that book as a teen. Unfortunately I lent it to an ex whom I broke up with before she had returned it and never spoken with eversince.

I fondly remember tinkering with a PHP program (that was the only language I knew at the time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) to draw the bifurcation diagram of the logistic map which then I used as my desktop background.

:) I wrote a couple of tables on Excel v1 that was running on the original Mackintosh we had at home to play around with the same equations.

under that standard of "similar", wouldn't basically any book with "Chaos" in the title count?

Original submission title was something like Chaosbook (which is also why there is a now nonsensical comment about Chromebook)
