#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Sapiens comes the groundbreaking story of how information networks have made, and unmade, our world.“Striking original . . . A historian whose arguments operate on the scale of millennia has managed to capture the zeitgeist perfectly.”—The Economist“This deeply important book comes at a critical time as we all think through the implications of AI and automated content production. . . . Masterful and provocative.”—Mustafa Suleyman, author of The Coming WaveFor the last 100,000 years, we Sapiens have accumulated enormous power. But despite all our discoveries, inventions, and conquests, we now find ourselves in an existential crisis. The world is on the verge of ecological collapse. Misinformation abounds. And we are rushing headlong into the age of AI—a new information network that threatens to annihilate us. For all that we have accomplished, why are we so self-destructive?Nexus looks through the long lens of human history to consider h

For a long while, Lisbon was a sleeping beauty. From its heyday in the 15th and 16th centuries, rooted in the Age of Discovery, to the end of Salazar's dictatorial regime in 1974, the city lived at a slower pace than the rest of Europe. With its nomination as European Cultural Capital in 1994, it suddenly found itself in the spotlight.Lisbon sits on the north bank of the Tagus, not far from the mouth of the river, and straddles the undulating terrain formed by seven hills. Thanks to fortunes amassed during the Age of Discovery, and in spite of the terrible earthquake of 1755, the Portuguese capital has a rich and varied architectural heritage. Every hilltop bears a castle or church, its slopes criss-crossed with networks of steep alleyways bordered with small colourful houses, while the slightest expanse of flat ground allows Baroque and Classical edifices to prosper. Even the banks of the Tagus are now home to world class contemporary architecture.At a time when Lisbon's population an

國家獨裁者緊握專政，剝奪人民應有的權利與尊嚴；政客與金融鉅子們暗地私通，在金融海嘯中葬送人民權益。今日，網際網絡成為人民憤怒的出口、希望的泉眼；在自由的網路空間中，他們拉起雙手，重新找到與強權搏鬥的勇氣。當代網路社會研究權威、左翼思想大師曼威•柯司特以清楚的脈絡與犀利的筆鋒綜覽2010年後網路社會運動的串連與發酵——為讀者開啟一扇通往新民主社會的大門。十年前，反抗的星火從網路上點起2009，冰島「

過去十年來，現代社會中複雜的連通性向公眾展現出與日俱增的魅力。這種連通性在許多方面都有體現並發揮著強大的作用，包括互聯網的快速成長、全球通信的便捷，新聞與信息（以及傳染病與金融危機）以驚人的速度與強度傳播的能力。這些現象涉及網絡、動機和人們的聚合行為。網絡將人們的行為聯繫起來，使得每個人的決定可能對他人產生微妙的後果。 《網絡、群體與市場：揭示高度互聯世界的行為原理與效應機制》是本科生的入門教材，同時也適合希望進入相關領域的高層次讀者。它從交叉學科的角度出發，綜合運用經濟學、社會學、計算與信息科學以及應用數學的有關概念與方法，考察網絡行為原理及其效應機制。以深入淺出的方式描述了在網絡的作用下正在浮現與發展起來的一些交叉學科領域，討論了社會、經濟和技術領域相互聯繫的若干基本問題。 《網絡、群體與市場：揭示高度互聯世界的行為原理與效應機制》也是一本帶你跨入信息科學與社會科學交叉領域研究之門的優秀參考書。 《網絡、群體與市場：揭示高度互聯世界的行為原理與效應機制》原著的作者是美國康奈爾大學的兩位著名的學者，一位（David Easley）是經濟學教授，一位（Jon Kleinberg）是計算機科學教授。 《網絡、群體與市場：揭示高度互聯世界的行為原理與效應機制》的不尋常之處可從這個作者組合體會一斑。《網絡、群體與市場：揭示高度互聯世界的行為原理與效應機制》內容十分豐富，跨應用數學、信息科學、經濟學和社會學等多個領域，但決不是淺嘗即止，而是相當深刻。同時，得益于作者對相關領域遊刃有餘的把握，大量深刻的內容和重要結論，通過簡單但關鍵性的例子，被鋪陳得簡明清晰。因此，《網絡、群體與市場：揭示高度互聯世界的行為原理與效應機制》的可讀性很強，除了是一本教材，也很適合作為自學參考書。而且，由於採用了大量日常經濟生活與社會生活中熟悉的概念，使讀者常常會饒有興趣地流連在那些嚴謹的推理中。
