Blog
I don't take any credit for the title of this blog. It was used by Kurt Vonnegut to describe the sea freezing solid in Cat's Cradle, which was used by Philip Ball in Critical Mass to illustrate his argument for sudden shifts in mass behaviour, which in turn came to mind when I was reading Paul Ormerod's enlightening RSA pamplet about the implications of networks for public policy. Vonnegut to Ormerod via Ball and me – that's an example of networks in action!
