We demonstrate how a collection of chaotic systems can be tamed by random coupling connections, heterogeneity in the constituent chaotic sub-systems and asynchronicity in dynamical evolution, i.e. disorder and asymmetry can induce ordered behaviour. We will discuss this phenomena in a wide class of systems, ranging from coupled oscillators to biochemical, neural and infection spreading networks. We will also show how dynamically switched random links can prevent blow-ups in coupled nonlinear systems suffering from unbounded growth. Lastly we will demonstrate that random connections can destroy chimeras, yielding more homogeneous and ordered states.
