Human networks

Human society is a complex system with its hierarchy, which is actually built much more complicated than it seems at first glance. Our relationships with each other resemble a huge branched network that is subordinated to its laws and functions in accordance with its logic. Social networks, such as Facebook or Telegram, are only a new round in the long and fascinating history of the evolutionary development of human networks. Moreover, the networks that existed even before the invention of computers functioned almost according to the same rules, except that the speed of information transmission greatly lost modern. On the example of a tremendous number of materials, from medieval chronicles to the latest research, Matthew Jackson shows how modern human networks function and what needs to be done in order to achieve success in them.
