An accessible illustrated introducton to the networks we use every
day, from Facebook and Google to WiFi and the Internet What makes
WiFi faster at home than at a coffee shop? How does Google order
search results? Is it really true that everyone on Facebook is
connected by six steps or less? The Power of Networks answers
questions like these for the first time in a way that all of us can
understand. Using simple language, analogies, stories, hundreds of
illustrations, and no more math than simple addition and
multiplication, Christopher Brinton and Mung Chiang provide a smart
and accessible introduction to the handful of big ideas that drive
the computer networks we use every day. The Power of Networks
unifies these ideas through six fundamental principles of
networking. These principles explain the difficulties in sharing
network resources efficiently, how crowds can be wise or not so
wise depending on the nature of their connections, why there are
many layers in a network, and more. Along the way, the authors also
talk with and share the special insights of renowned experts such
as Google's Eric Schmidt, former Verizon Wireless CEO Dennis
Strigl, and "fathers of the Internet" Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn.
