  This is a good mind-stretching book. Birthday Paradox, Prisoner's Dilemma, flash mobs, forming a Stay at Home Mom's group. There's a lot of diversity in the book but it all comes together under its aptly named subtitle: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations.

You could read this book a year from now and still gain valuable insight into the blogging, Twitter, and social media arenas.
