Produktinformationen zu „The Square and the Tower “
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.
