A cocktail party. A terrorist group. Ancient bacteria. An international corporation. Everything is networks, and all are part of an astonishing scientific revolution. In the book "Linked," Albert-László Barabási, a leading expert in the new science of networks, takes us on an intellectual adventure to prove that social networks, businesses, and living organisms are more alike than we previously thought. Barabási shows that fully understanding the science of networks will enable us to design high-value companies, stop the spread of deadly diseases, and influence the exchange of ideas and information. Like James Gleick and the Erdős-Rényi model, "Linked" tells the story of the true science of the future and the experiments in statistical mechanics on the internet, all critical parts of what would eventually be called the Barabási-Albert model.
