A powerful, thought-provoking book. A great introduction into the fascinating world Network Science. Michael Nielson explains how the Internet is amplifying collective intelligence and making real world problems easier to solve.
For example, the author demonstrates how through communication via the Internet, mathematicians were able to find a new combinatorial proof to the density version of the Hales–Jewett theorem.
After reading it, you'll realize that coming to the JREF forums isn't a "waste of time," but an amazing consciousness-raising experience. It's an opportunity to gain the knowledge that other members have acquired throughout their lifetimes.
