## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best Lecture You Will Ever Attend
*by J***S on May 6, 2010*

Dr. Barabasi is good; not just good at explaining the esoteric relationships between Albert Einstein's desk, your e-mail inbox, Brownian Motion, Levy Flights and simple random walks, his book is an outstanding example of how to teach. Dr. Barabasi posits that the efforts of all living and, presumably free, creatures follow certain statistical rules and that ultimately an understanding of such rules may allow scientists to predict human behaviors as they now predict the weather. He concludes that as our understanding of human behaviors and ability to amass data increases, we are not approaching a Brave New World so much as recreating the small close-knit villages of years past, something to be both welcomed and feared.By combining the exposition of the science behind his thesis with a gripping historical narrative about a famous Hungarian revolutionary, the author has created a story that pulls the reader through the difficult ideas. The book is much more interested in explaining how knowledge and understanding have advanced than it is in explaining the minutiae of the science itself. By drawing analogies from familiar events and situations, the author skillfully hooks the reader for an illuminating journey. This book would be a great present for students of any age because it portrays the glamorous side of the scientific endeavor and the fact that new truths are hiding in everyday experience.It is a cliche to be sure, but I could not put the book down once I started it. Such tension is expected in some genres, but to be achieved by one of the limited offerings of general science was a fine surprise--one that I hope to share with others.Highly Recommended

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great topic, good insights, bit hard to follow
*by J***O on February 11, 2014*

Barabasi is clearly a great thinker on this topic, but seems to know more than he shares in this book. The patterns of our behaviour seem completely predictable, but the book is a bit hard to follow sometimes and lacks concrete examples to support its case. That's not a big problem, because it is still great fun to read and discusses some major problems of today.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ especially those who liked his first book Linked
*by A***A on January 28, 2015*

Much maligned by some reviewers, especially those who liked his first book Linked. But I think Barabasi is making a shrewd and subtle point about the nature of reality (and people's behavior). Some have said, "Bursts, huh? How obvious." It's there, you overlook it everyday, so one says 'if it's easy to overlook, what's the big deal?' Yeah but what are you going to do when the burst happens? I'll bet you never thought about that. It's a tool of analysis. If you've got somebody who's priorities you know clearly, you can predict what they're going to do. If you've got somebody who's priorities are all messed up, you can predict what they're going to do too. That's at the heart of what Barabasi is talking about and that's valuable.
