Forgive me turning this blog into a book store window, but here’s another book I recommend to your attention.
Conflict of interest declaration: I wrote it.
Flock and Flow has just appeared. It applies complexity theory to the turbulence of contemporary cultures and markets. It builds "early warning systems" for marketer.
Amazon has it here.
I am still on vacation!
Congrats on your new book!
Well done, Grant! Where do you find the time to write books?!
Convergence Culture? Flock and Flow? I think you just like books with alliteration in the title…
🙂
Excellent, can’t wait to get this from Amazon.
You had a post a while back about building something like a trend prediction model, and this sounds something like it from your description. Really interesting stuff!
Congrats, Grant!

This looks yummy!
Um, sort of a different topic, but a lot of marketers drop by and I thought some of you might like to read a little about Google written by a scientist.
You know, this is a little change up?

Got the book Friday from Amazon, started it this morning and — as I suspected — it is terrific. A stunning accomplishment, Grant. Masterful prose, deep insight, compelling findings.
Duncan. I am in your debt, sir! Grant
Grant — I ordered this from Amazon UK the day you posted, but it seems they had to source it from the US. It arrived yesterday and I’m about half-way through. So far, it’s up to your usual high standard mix of elegant prose and stunning insights, ie, wonderful!
