    James Surowiecki, conocido columnista de la revista New Yorker, explora una idea aparentemente sencilla pero de profundas implicaciones: los grandes colectivos son más inteligentes que la minoría selecta, por brillante que sea, a la hora de resolver problemas, promover la innovación, tomar decisiones prudentes e incluso prever el futuro. Con erudición y una prosa clara y amena, recorre la cultura popular, la psicología, el conductismo económico, la inteligencia artificial, la historia militar y la teoría económica para mostrar cómo funciona este principio en el mundo real. ¿Por qué elegimos siempre la fila más lenta? ¿Por qué se producen los embotellamientos?

    The Wisdom of Crowds

    New Yorker columnist James Surowiecki explores a deceptively simple idea with far-reaching consequences: large groups are smarter than a select few, however brilliant, when it comes to solving problems, fostering innovation, making sound decisions, and even predicting the future. Drawing on popular culture, psychology, behavioral economics, artificial intelligence, military history, and economic theory, he shows how collective intelligence shapes business, knowledge, the economy, and daily life. Clear, wide-ranging, and entertaining, the book answers surprising questions: Why do we always pick the slow line? Why do traffic jams happen?
