   I am playing with networks

• How are the networks organized?
• How do these complex architectures emerge? How do networks evolve?
• What is special about processes taking place on the complex networks?
• How to design an optimal network?

This text is a very concise modern introduction to the science of networks. My aim is to introduce a reader without serious background in mathematics or physics to the world of networks. The book contains discussion of recent results.
