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.

评分##当年居然以为读了这书就算是学习complex network了。。。想来真是年少无知。作者是提出scale free network的开山学者,文笔也是不错,擅长讲故事,所以书读来还蛮有趣,是个不错的入门读物。不过感觉这书里多少有些做广告和忽悠的成分,作者把复杂网络理论渲染得仿佛宇宙头号真理一般,但是其实后来想想多少也有些夸张了。
