Superconnect: The Power of Networks and the Strength of Weak Links

Networks rule the world. Take an organization of any kind: a corner shop, a new venture, a gang of drug traffickers, the United Nations, Google, the place you work. They are all networks, with their own rules and values and ways of communicating. Everybody belongs to networks and they make a huge difference to our lives - to our happiness and to our opportunities. As the world becomes more densely populated, the connections between us are expanding in ever more intricate ways - via the web, mobile phone technology and global media. How does this affect us? And how can we make the most of these connections? SUPERCONNECT looks at how the successful and fortunate few behave - and shows that if you want to be one of them, you have to play by the network rules.
