Linked

Jon Udell reviews Albert-László Barabási's outstanding network theory book Linked and comments on power law distributions and scale-free networks:

But we are embedded in these networks, we can visualize them, we will manipulate them to gain individual and collective advantage. The sooner we acknowledge this power and learn to use it responsibly, the better.

He also plucks David Gelernter's 1991 book, Mirror Worlds which saw a need for modelling & simulation, "to monitor and debug" -- more on that next week.
