Powered by thoughtful technology

BooksCubed is built on ten_cubed, a tool to create social graphs that don't ruin our lives. The network can never get bigger than a small town. Just enough people to make it interesting.

Ten personal connections. That's it.

Each person can connect with at most 10 others. Why ten? Because it kind of mirrors real-life friendships.

You control the size of your full network.

You decide if you want a larger or smaller network. Want book recommendations from your 10 closest connections? Great! Want to see books from friends of friends? That works too.

Networks capped at ~1,000 connections

Regardless of your preferences, your network will never get bigger than a small town. Only 1,110 possible connections are technically allowed.
