The Matrix.

I read this book in the 90s, about a Connected World Mind, where similar ideas would pop up at the same time, but in different parts of the world, because of the similar patterns being followed.

This will only become more connected with time.

Studying patterns, is fascinating, because there's no such thing as Chaos, just the extreme complexity of Order.
