"Breakpoint" reveals why all networks - from brains to the internet - must eventually implode to survive. Neuroscientist Jeff Stibel's counterintuitive insight: growth isn't always good. Tech leaders debate his provocative claim that the web's coming breakpoint isn't disaster, but evolution.

What if I told you that Facebook, your brain, and a colony of ants all follow the exact same mathematical pattern? That the secret to understanding why some networks thrive while others collapse lies hidden in a tragic story about reindeer on a remote island? In 1944, the Coast Guard introduced 29 reindeer to St. Matthew Island, where they found paradise-abundant lichen, no predators, perfect conditions. The population exploded to 6,000 by 1963. Two years later, only 42 remained alive. They'd devoured the lichen faster than nature could replenish it, triggering a catastrophic collapse. This isn't just a cautionary tale about overgrazing. It's a window into how all networks-biological, technological, social-follow a predictable arc: explosive growth, a critical breakpoint where they overshoot capacity, and then either collapse or find equilibrium. Understanding this pattern explains why MySpace vanished while Facebook flourished, why your smartphone feels smarter than yesterday's supercomputer, and why the internet itself might one day think.
