d Beckstrom, co-author of the Spider and The Starfish, talked at length about the power of decentralized networks over centralized networks and drew comparisons between the Spanish and the Apache Indian, Napster and Kazaa, and of course the spider and the starfish. The analogy is an important one. Cut off a spider's head and he dies. Cut off a starfish's leg and he re-grows. He says decentralized business and networks will always win out. This is fascinating stuff. You need to read his book to get the full effect.
