There's still much that we don't know

I read this book because it received a favourable review in a Sci Fi magazine. It did not disappoint. For one, I finally learnt more about how the "6-degrees to Kevin Bacon" game works. Certain chapters could be rather heavy going though. But there's enough "layperson" content for this book to be useful to non-academics.

There's enough real-world examples written to keep me going. For instance, about how Ebola (biological virus) & Melissa (computer virus) spreads; an interesting story of the 1634 Dutch "Tulip Bubble" burst; of social experiments -- like this guy called Solomon Asch who proved that an individual starts having doubts when s/he is the minority, even though the majority's views are contrary to reality; how the Sept 11 incident "exposed the hidden connections in the complex archictecture of modern life"; a really intriuging case study of the Toyota-Aisin crisis of '97.

There's a useful reference list on recommended readings, ranked by the author based on level of readability (i.e. whether you need a background in Network Theory or not), so that's really helpful for further readings.

I would've liked it better if the book explained how one could really tap on the effect of "social contagion of ideas". But to be fair, it did say there's much work to be done, and the author does a credible job of explaining a complex theory for laypersons.

...I can't make a exact review now because I'm still reading it. It's too long but. there are many good information.

Very good but still not sure of the complete truth there were many players and since everyone fears for their life there is little exposure. One of the best.

Helped with some Boston family history and genealogy that I was not aware.  However, I had information that was missing from the book.  The author, Matt Wise did state that it was not complete and some information he was not sure was correct.

Great read, but we still have no idea where the ball is. Sister Helen may have given it to someone on game day. Still good food for thought.

There's good stuff here, despite the fact I was looking for particular insights he's famous for, that this book didn't have.
But it's still a keeper!

An interesting compilation of facts, but not not a great deal of new material.

A good book that highlights essential flight information, keying on the flights landing in Cleveland (?) that morning.

Questions remain, as the author admits -

1. Are all the passengers consolidated on one flight, that lands in Cleveland with 200 or so passengers?

2. What happened to the passengers?

3. What happened to Ted Olsen's wife?  She's obviously missing, as he's remarried.

4. Since at least 8 of the 19 "hijackers" have been shown to be alive, most living in the middle east, why hasn't any major news coverage addressed this?

It took 50 years to uncover the network behind the JFK hit, so I think we're still too early to really piece this thing together, but I enjoyed the book.

A satisfying little tale that, while it leaves most things unanswered, still feels oddly complete.

Well writen but doesn't cover much that hasn't been said before

it is ok!  I would prefer if it had a clear idea about what is going on. A lot of non-explained things going on!

A difficult subject but a necessary subject to write about. Lester Hunt was a man of integrity but also a man of secrets, which are hinted at but never fully explored. The author writes more about general topic of suicides and McCarthyism to compensate for his lack of access. The particular details of the case are lost to history or, as we are told, sealed till the death of Joseph McCarthy's daughter. I see pieces of the puzzle here, but I'm still waiting to see the full picture.

This book is an interesting read, and author has put a lot of effort to compile all the facts. However, I am not sure how much is fact, how much is fiction ... It is hard to tell from reading this book, and some parts seems to be convincing. If a new world order does exist, that would be really scary.

There are a lot of things in this book that I didn't even have a clue about.  That was missing from the Bible.
