"Starts slowly & too simply. I was glad I waited to let the complexity build.
It was impressive how the laws / general principles derived from (each of) movie, internet, cinema networks could be applied to make useful declarations about biological, financial and governances complex systems.
"Interesting enough, though repetative. A pop-cultural textbook for very complicated mathematics/statistics, but never-the-less very relevant and very interesting. The first half of the book builds the groundwork for the information explained in the second half, though for the most part the book just repeats the same concepts over and over (maybe needed for something so compicated).
To be honest I already had intuitively come to some of the same conclusions these mathemeticians and physicists came to through equations and graphs; interesting to know there is already a vocabulary for phenomena I have noticed. For example I call my "Hub"-friends "Conectrixes." Though "hub" works just as well."
"After reading Mitchel Resnick's Turtles, Termites, and Traffic Jams: Explorations in Massively Parallel Microworlds (Complex Adaptive Systems), my exploration of decentralized networks went down a very viral path.
This book, in particular, discusses the application of network theory in the context of its historical significance.
The author explores how it can be used as a tool and device to understand cities, computer networks social networks, human-human interactions (speech), human-computer interactions (HCI), computer-computer interactions (protocol), diseases, computer viruses, nature.
Based on this book and its related siblings, it inspires tremendous amounts of ideas for the next big thing in marketing strategy."
"2009.0817-2009.0817 An interesting blend of detail and layman's explanations, this book was a great read and I will Need to read this book again. Barabasi makes me want to pull out the old Graph Theory book (looking at it right now) and brush up on my stats. The implications of his ideas are wide and I really enjoyed this book."
