Apparently so, at the original source, which AFR seems to link to:

I've submitted the original source.
The Statesman article has a more appropriate headline, to its topic. Both are effectively teasers for the book.
I'm (slightly) familiar with Farmer's work, and generally impressed by it. More familiar with the Santa Fe Institute, with which he's associated, largely through its Complexity podcast. That was better under its former host, Michael Garfield, though it's been resurrected this year under new organisation. Still good, but Garfield brought something to it which is hard to replicate. And SFI gave him something which his own podcast, Future Fossils, also lacks, IMO (though I'll listen to the occasional episode there as well).
I may dig into the book to see if there's more substance (and validation of the FP headline) there.
