Much harder to decide what to take away from this work to apply to design. The author ignores how human technologies scaffold in ways that constrain your future choices. The emphasis of the book is on mechanical systems but much of the mechanics is now also subject to information driven compatibility.
But the subject matter of nature vs human design should be an academic discipline in its own right.
