I’ve recently finished three books that all have more to do with one another than they might expect:
- Emergence: The Connected Lives of Ants, Brains, Cities, and Software
- The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
- The Wisdom of Crowds: Why the Many Are Smarter Than the Few and How Collective Wisdom Shapes Business, Economies, Societies and Nations
The last one, while not as well written, does acknowledge the space it’s in by referencing the previous two books. (and mentioned our own Dave Pennock)
At some point I want to sit down with all three of these again and write down my slowly gelling thoughts on all of this. This is how we should design software and build robots.
