The Geometry of Waiting

A bright, surprising look at the hidden science of waitinghow physics, fairness, and design keep queues flowing and tempers cool.

Everywhere people waitat airports, cafés, hospitals, or theme parksthe same invisible laws of motion are at work. The Geometry of Waiting explores the elegant, mathematical, and psychological systems that keep queues (mostly) fair, efficient, and riot-free. This isn't just a book about patience; it's about precision. Combining physics, design, and human psychology, The Geometry of Waiting reveals how the simplest social structurethe linebalances chaos and order, competition and cooperation. Through lively examples from everyday life, the book shows how tiny changes in structure and expectation can transform frustration into flow.
