Oprah Time: Nexus: Small Worlds and the New Science of Networks by Mark Buchanan

I was interested by Mark Buchanan’s work because of the understanding that it promised for networks. Buchanan does a good job at simplifying scientific theory in a similar to James Gleick at the start of the book and it certainly provides food for thought. However, the book could be a third shorter if the editors had cut out the Malcolm Gladwellesque detours which add no value to the books central premise. I’d advise you to save your money and move on.
