The startling discovery that networks of things - from molecules to people to PCs - have a hidden and powerful design that binds the world together.
Most of us have had the experience of running into a friend of a friend far away from home - and feeling that the world is somehow smaller than it should be. We usually write off such unlikely encounters as coincidence; but according to a handful of physicists at Los Alamos and other cutting-edge research labs around the world, this 'small world' phenomenon is no coincidence at all. Rather, it is the manifestation of a hidden and powerful design that binds the world together.
This fascinating book tells the story of how a stunning discovery in complexity science is revolutionising the way we understand networks.
