Six Degrees: Book Review

I recently finished reading Six Degrees: The Science of a Connected Age by Duncan Watts. While I was expecting to read a lot about social networking and the degrees of seperation in social society, I suprised to find so much science. Yes, I know: the subtitle should have given it away. But this is not a problem at all: the book is written very well, in such a way that anyone can understand and enjoy. In the fact, this convergence of science and sociolgy is makes makes this book truly interesting. The book discussed various types of networks, with results that are surprisingly similar. I recommend this book to anyone interested in social networking. The nineties were about the web network, and the decades that come will be about social networks that manifest them themselves on- and offline.
