How Life is Different

The book examines basic principles of the structure and organization of living organisms and their differences from objects of inanimate nature. It is shown how a single program-information structure permeates all evolutionary stages of life, including the cell, multicellular organisms and humans.

The book examines basic principles of the structure and organization of living organisms and their differences from objects of inanimate nature. It covers how a single program-information structure permeates all evolutionary stages of life, including the cell, multicellular organisms and humans. The author explains how this structure is arranged and how it functions, as well as the role of the information system.
