COLLAPSE

Someone sent me their MySpace address the other day a I spent a while clicking from one friendship group to another on MySpace: what a dull experience this natural network made. Obviously, it matters where you start. I had had the impression that I'd have an interesting find eventually. Wrong! These people's interests, made clear by the friends and groups they had linked to, were brim-full of dull enthusiasm and narrow horizons. The following day, I clicked through the Collapse links <here> and found an amazing cross section of people on the web, a group who, previously, would not have been put together. It reminded me of MySpace, but did the MySpace thing so much better.

Collapse 2 is out soon. See reviews of the first volume:
