Linked: The New Science of Networks  Linked: The New Science of Networks is a popular science book written by the Hungarian physicist Albert-László Barabási and first published by the Perseus Books Group in 2002. Barabási has changed the way of thinking about real-world networks and largely contributed to making networks the revolutionary science of the 21st century. "Linked" is his first book that introduces the highly developed field of Network Science to a broad audience. "Linked" has become a bestseller with more than 70,000 copies sold after fourteen printings and it was selected as one of the Best Business Books in 2002. The main purpose of "Linked" is to introduce the science of networks to the general audience. It provides an easy and readable introduction to the main models and properties of networks and their applications in many areas of real life, such as the spread of epidemics, fighting against terrorism, handling economic crises or solving social problems of the society. As the subtitle of the book says "Linked" reveals 'How Everything is Connected to Everything Else and What It Means for Business, Science, and Everyday Life'. As Barabási writes in the Introduction, "Linked" '…has a simple aim: to get you to think networks. It is about how networks emerge, what they look like, and how they evolve. It shows you a Web-based view of nature, society, and business, a new framework for understanding issues ranging from democracy on the Web to the vulnerability of the Internet and the spread of deadly viruses. Networks are present everywhere. All we need is an eye for them.'  "Linked" contains fifteen chapters (named links) that introduce different concepts and applications of networks:  Sidney Redner, leading physicist of Boston University, describes "Linked" In Nature as an entertaining introductory level book of modern science. He writes “His enthusiasm is apparent throughout the narrative, a feature that makes for good reading. … I would enthusiastically recommend them to my own family members. It is remarkable and gratifying to see excellent popularizations of a burgeoning field of scientific research while many developments are still in progress.” Ian Foster reviews "Linked" for Science: “…I found both books [Linked and Mark Buchanan’s Nexus] wonderfully revealing and thought provoking in terms of the broad relevance of the ideas and their future implications.” A review by James Brody in Human Nature Review says: “Linked offers many heuristic possibilities if your interests are in genetic, neural, electronic, or social organizations.
