THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'Silicon Valley needed a history
lesson and Ferguson has provided it' Eric Schmidt Most history is
about the people at the top of the towers of power. But what if the
real action is in the social networks down below, in the town
squares? Niall Ferguson, the international bestselling author of
Empire, The Ascent of Money and Civilization, brilliantly recasts
past and present as an unending contest between hierarchies and
networks. 'Provocative, snappy, a rare book ... fasten your
seatbelts' Peter Frankopan, Daily Telegraph 'Immensely stimulating,
absorbing, illuminating ... sends ideas blazing all over the place
... one of the best popular historians of our time' David Goodhart,
Prospect 'Powerful, fast-paced ... a pull-yourself-together warning
to the present by way of arresting historical precedent' Andrew
Anthony, Guardian 'Captivating and compelling' Jonathan A. Knee,
The New York Times
