3DN Book Reviews
I cannot and do not claim ownership or creative rights to the concepts discussed in Three Dimensional Networking. These concepts derive from wanting to understand everything there is to know (for which I have a long ways to go) and the work of a lot of people to which I have been exposed, including the works that I will list here. This is by no means an exhaustive list nor do I consider my views complete or fully developed. I would love to discuss with anyone how the concepts in these works, or any others, relate to Three Dimensional Networking and Whole System Design.
