Every so often an idea comes around that is a game changer. After we hear it and understand it, we never see the world quite the same ever again. Biomimicry is such an idea. It shows us that genius solutions to our challenges already exist—right outside, in nature. Tested over eons. Biomimicry is at the top of a “top trends” list Fortune magazine recently published, which argued, “If you’re not incorporating the most brilliant ideas from the natural world into what you do, you’re leaving money on the table.”

Imagine having millions of years of experience in developing and operating complex distributed systems? What if we could reverse-engineer nature’s strategies for high-performance, resilient, and secure systems? From organisms to ecosystems, Claire Janisch explores some of the best biomimicry opportunities inspired by nature’s software and wetware.
