The Exploit: A Theory of Networks - asounder

On Reading This Book
It is our intention in this book to avoid the limits of academic writing
in favor of a more experimental, speculative approach. To that
end, we adopt a two - tier format. Throughout Part I, “Nodes,” you will
find a number of condensed, italicized headers that are glued together
with more standard prose. For quick immersion, we suggest skimming
Part I by reading the italicized sections only. Alternatively, you may
inspect the diversions and intensifications that form the main body
of the text. Part II, “Edges,” continues the experiment with a number
of miniature essays, modules, and fragments. In this sense, we hope
you will experience the book not as the step - by - step propositional
evolution of a complete theory but as a series of marginal claims, disconnected
in a living environment of many thoughts, distributed
across as many pages.
