What if everything we believe about power and control is backwards? Scientists once believed memories lived in specific neurons-grandmother cells that fired when you saw your grandmother's face. They searched desperately for these command centers, convinced the brain operated like a corporation with clear hierarchies. Instead, they discovered something unsettling: memories scatter across neural networks in overlapping patterns. No single cell holds the memory. To erase it, you'd need to destroy the entire web. This revelation mirrors a quiet revolution reshaping our world. We instinctively ask "who's in charge?" when examining any organization. But what happens when there's no one in charge-when power flows not from the top down, but from the edges inward? Rather than chaos, this absence of traditional leadership is giving rise to organizations turning entire industries upside down, from music sharing to encyclopedias, from software development to social movements.
