Thought Contagion
A very promising start that begins with a very good chapter explaining the concept of "memes," a way of evaluating ideas in biological terms. Memetics (study of memes) assesses the ability of ideas to propogate, develop immunity to changes and other biological concepts. Unfortunately, the subsequent chapters contain a series of examples that don't add any value. Whether the examples were poorly conceived or overly simplified I don't know. And don't really care as the examples didn't add much to my understanding.
