Reinventing Discovery: The New Era of Networked Science

  • Michael Nielsen

How did 250,000 amateur astronomers discover an entirely new kind of galaxy? Scientists are using the internet to dramatically expand our problem-solving ability and increase our combined brainpower. The internet is transforming the nature of our collective intelligence and how we understand the world. 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: the era of networked science.
