I'm thinking that this book, Linked: The New Science of Networks by Elbert-Laszlo Barabasi, should be sold in a matched set on Amazon with Wolfram's A New Kind of Science. We're going to see this convergence more and more often as time goes by ~ we're at the right place technological, socially, and economically to start thinking about networks in this way. The algorithmic, rules-based functioning of DNA is just the tip of the iceberg.

A New York Times article points to economics as another area where the exploration of network theory might be valuable. I'm going to propose that it's already started with applications from game theory (see John Nash, for example).
