About this listen

 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 and author of Bursts, 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 and the Erdos–Rényi model brought the discovery of chaos theory to the general public, Linked tells the story of the true science of the future and of experiments in statistical mechanics on the internet, all vital parts of what would eventually be called the Barabási–Albert model.Executive Producer: Karen DiMattia

This book shows how network is useful-just as statistical parameters such as mean, standard deviation are useful, network parameters such as clustering coefficient can also be useful. The author compares three network model and then shows that several phenomenon can be modelled using network. I did not understand much and did not enjoy the biological applications of the network which is at the end. A basic biology knowledge would have helped.
