Born in , he lives in Concord, close to Boston, Massachusetts. A scientist and computer science pioneer, he developed project Whirlwind in the ‘40s and ‘50s and invented magnetic memory for computers, one of the foundations which allowed the development of information technology. In he moved to MIT. He founded system dynamics, the science simulating interactions between complex systems. First he applied this new science to studying industrial dynamics, then to urban dynamics, and finally to the entire world: his book System Dynamics already contained the mechanisms which made Limits to Growth so famous, but it was too scientific and complicated for the public at large. In June he put forward his vision to the Club of Rome in Berne and on the way back to Boston he designed World, the model behind Limits to Growth. Today at 90 years old Jay Forrester maintains all the characteristics of a genius: lucid, strong and self-centered he understood and still understands complexity.
