Something Strange Happens When You Trace How Connected We Are dives into the magic of six degrees of separation and the math that makes our world surprisingly small. From Watts–Strogatz small-world shortcuts and the “strength of weak ties” to Barabási’s preferential attachment hubs, Derek Muller shows how a few random links can speed up disease spread, make ideas go viral, and reshape entire networks.
Along the way you’ll meet network legends Duncan Watts, Steve Strogatz, and Albert-László Barabási, play with interactive simulations, explore the Prisoner’s Dilemma in a networked world, and discover how even your everyday choices can change the global web of connections.
