An old book from the early 2000s (anything before 2008 is early 2000s worlds different politically if you are on the left in the days of neoliberal TINA.) Fairly good intro to statistics, phase transitions (in generalized mathematical form), ideas around networks. You can tell it is old by the fact that moons over things like the World wide web and information superhighways. Anyway a product of its time and a pleasurable read nonetheless.
