"In Reinventing Discovery, Michael Nielsen argues that we are living at the dawn of the most dramatic change in science in more than 300 years. This change is being driven by powerful new cognitive tools, enabled by the internet, which are greatly accelerating scientific discovery. There are many books about how the internet is changing business or the workplace or government. But this is the first book about something much more fundamental: how the internet is transforming the nature of our collective intelligence and how we understand the world. Reinventing Discovery tells the exciting story

Since it is a book thread: The Information: James Gleick - really made me take a step back to think about what information is and how we talk about it Reinventing Discovery: Michael Nielsen - It was some years back now but I had trouble reading it because I kept having to write things down or read about a new idea the book just put into my head.

on “Kasparov versus the World” ↗A book called "Reinventing Discovery", about how collective intelligence is transforming science. The manuscript is due to the publisher (Princeton University Press) in a couple of months.
