Beschreibung
Throughout history our societies have worked through networks and Ferguson's new book is a history of this remarkable aspect of human existence, from the networks that first allowed us to explore the oceans to today's hyper-linked world. He argues that networks have always been with us. Hierarchies rule, but networks innovate and make it possible that revolutionary ideas can contagiously spread. Networks, hierarchies and the struggle for global power.
