Book Report Reaction

The book I read for my book report was called Six Degrees: The Science of the Connected World. In this book he talks about a new science. A science that combines all the knowledge of the preexisting sciences out there. I clearly had to read this book every carefully because was all very new to me. I actually didn't pick this book for myself it was more or less my pick by default. When I first saw the title I thought it was about the whole Kevin Bacon game thing. And he does mention this game in the book but its a little different. As I mentioned in my presentation I think this new science would be useful and applied to everyday situations. For example the story he gives about the people guessing the passwords after the 9/11 attacks based on the wisdom of crowds. Also the mixing of sociology and math, which is the basis for the Kevin Bacon game. Its all new to me i can see it taking shape in the near future.
