This short book gives a thorough introduction to basic fractals in the format of a graphic novel. I never realised the huge range of applications fractals have, from image compression and simulation of almost all natural phenomena to cancer detection.
I may be biased, but I do think slightly more maths may have actually made the content more clear, as in some places the descriptions were slightly too vague to make full sense to me. However, as an accessible intro, it definitely seems better to be on the safe side and stick to broad descriptions.
I now have a much greater appreciation for the importance and beauty, of fractals, and I suspect I'll start seeing them everywhere from now on.
