A 14 year old book that is still as relevant as it was when it was published. Prof Srinath gives you a crash course in graph theory and network science while still making sense to people who have never heard of either graphs or networks. The only instance when I felt that I was reading a 14 year old book was while reading about the prevalent USD-INR conversion rates. This makes me come to the conclusion that one of the following must be true: Either the book was way ahead of its times; or we haven't made much progress in the last 14 years with respect to communication technologies. Since the latter is obviously false, the former must be true!
A absolute must read if you are interested in the working of networks science and how the interconnectedness of the world affects us all!
Added points to Prof Srinath for pointing out the defintion of "memes" :-D
