description: I recommend this technical overview of complex networks literature, especially the section on network properties. It offers a grounded perspective on the limited current understanding of real-world network structures and their underlying statistical characteristics.
keywords: [complex networks, network science, graph theory, statistical mechanics, topology, scale-free networks]

A good (but technical) [overview of complex networks literature](http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/cond-mat/pdf/0303/0303516.pdf) (PDF). If you do pick it up, just glance through "III. Properties of networks". It gives a good sense of what little we know of real-world networks.
