I am basically really interesting in the topic because, once again, it is one of those interdisciplinary concepts that seems to pop up everywhere and, yet, no one can really explain. A mystery of sorts...one that I've come across in every discipline from computer science to biology to economics to education, etc. I also developed a bit of an appetite on the subject from Duncan Watts's "Six Degrees" (which is on the book list and is definitely recommended to anyone interested in getting an introductory perspective on global connectivity and social networks!)
