El libro de la Inteligencia colectiva

We all affect each other. "We are together" even without realizing it. This book will help to understand why the same people, with different methods of agreeing, can achieve such different results. In your community of neighbors, it is impossible to reach agreements? Do you admire the creative brilliance of internet memes? Do you feel frustrated by the results of collective consultations such as Brexit or the general elections? Do you enjoy the exquisite coordination of jazz bands and some sports teams? Don't you understand why there are couples and families that multiply their possibilities by interacting with intelligence and affection, while others establish clumsy and harmful ties? In all these cases we do things together, with a certain degree of group intelligence -or stupidity-. That is the relevant question. What distinguishes the (more) wise "societies" is precisely their way of managing collective intelligence. This book is the fruit of more than ten years of research, in which one hundred and fourteen people participated. Through many examples, it answers such urgent questions as: Is it possible to know the degree of intelligence of a group? What factors contribute to increasing that intelligence? Can experts be dispensed with and trust in the massive community opinion?
