Social physics: how good ideas spread-the lessons from a new science

From ideas to actions : using big data to understand how human societies evolve

Part I: Social physics. Exploration : how can we find good ideas and make good decisions? ; Idea flow : the building blocks of collective intelligence ; Engagement : how can we all work together?

Part II: Idea machines. Collective intelligence : how patterns of interaction translate into collective intelligence ; Shaping organizations : social intelligence through visualization of interaction patterns ; Organizational change : social network incentives can be used to create instant organizations and guide them through disruptive change

Part III: Data-driven cities. Sensing cities : how mobile sensing is creating a nervous system for cities, enabling them to become more healthy, safe, and efficient ; City science : how social physics and big data are revolutionizing our understanding of cities and development

Part IV: Data-driven society. Data-driven societies : what will a data-driven future look like? ; Design for harmony : how social physics can help us design a human-centric society.
