I like @MarkCC's article "What is math": http://bit.ly/7KU3BG . It's not calculating tips, that's for sure

Stupid user shouldn’t have installed that evil executable” does not translate well into “stupid user shouldn’t have visited that evil web page”.

Networks, Crowds, and Markets: A Book by David Easley and Jon Kleinberg - http://www.cs.cornell.edu/home...
Networks, Crowds, and Markets combines different scientific perspectives in its approach to understanding networks and behavior. Drawing on ideas from economics, sociology, computing and information science, and applied mathematics, it describes the emerging field of study that is growing at the interface of all these areas, addressing fundamental questions about how the social, economic, and technological worlds are connected. The book is based on an inter-disciplinary course entitled Networks that we teach at Cornell. The book, like the course, is designed at the introductory undergraduate level with no formal prerequisites. To support deeper explorations, most of the chapters are supplemented with optional advanced sections.

As with many non-fiction works, the complete book is less powerful than the shorter New Yorker article. The magazine article followed Farmer to Haiti where he was making a huge difference in one region. The book has him bouncing around a dozen countries, each of which has seemingly intractable problems and people dying due to insufficient and/or... - http://journal.billmill.org/post...
