A cocktail party. A terrorist cell. Ancient bacteria. An
international conglomerate.
All are networks, and all are a part of a surprising
scientific revolution. Albert-László Barabási, the nation's
foremost expert in the new science of networks, takes us on an
intellectual adventure to prove that social networks, corporations,
and living organisms are more similar than previously thought.
Grasping a full understanding of network science will someday allow
us to design blue-chip businesses, stop the outbreak of deadly
diseases, and influence the exchange of ideas and information. Just
as James Gleick brought the discovery of chaos theory to the
general public, Linked tells the story of the true science of the
future.
