Mycroft Mind is a technology company developing technologies for providing
insight into networks of various kinds (social networks, computer networks,
sensor networks).
Naming of the company was inspired by the literary character Mycroft Holmes,
brother of famous detective Sherlock Holmes introduced by Arthur
Conan Doyle.
Let’s have look at Mycroft’s job (quotation from the story The
Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans):
Mycroft draws four hundred and fifty pounds a year, remains a
subordinate, has no ambitions of any kind, will receive neither honour nor
title, but remains the most indispensable man in the country. His position is
unique. He has made it for himself. There has never been anything like it
before, nor will be again. He has the tidiest and most orderly brain, with the
greatest capacity for storing facts, of any man living. The conclusions of every
department are passed to him, and he is the central exchange, the clearinghouse,
which makes out the balance. All other men are specialists, but his specialism
is omniscience. We will suppose that a minister needs information as to a point
which involves the Navy, India, Canada and the bimetallic question; he could get
his separate advices from various departments upon each, but only Mycroft can
focus them all, and say offhand how each factor would affect the other. They
began by using him as a short-cut, a convenience; now he has made himself an
essential. In that great brain of his everything is pigeon-holed and can be
handed out in an instant.
