They had been the naive victims of a calculated revenge.

On the program of this journey: the Game of Life. A game indeed, but one that allows us to better understand how a complex system can emerge from something simpler. This is called "emergence" and the story is somewhat reminiscent of our Universe. We will also meet different profiles of mathematicians, one of whom is very playful!

Statistics seem, almost by their very nature, to convey a positivist message. They are, in fact, a formidable tool in the attempt to master the complexity of the real world...

But numerous "biases" threaten any discourse that refers to them without care: an over-simplistic reading of the figures can lead us - for example - to confuse correlation with causation... And more complex phenomena (notably Simpson's paradox) can distort conclusions that seem objective.
