Clay Shirky’s new book: Here Comes Everybody

Clay Shirky’s new book is out today: Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations It’s on Amazon, and it looks really good.

If you’re in Cambridge, MA, Clay is speaking about the book at the Berkman Center at Harvard tonight:

“Here Comes Everybody” is about the social changes coming as a result of the internet’s power to support group action. Sharing, conversation, collaboration, collective action; all of these forms of group effort have been hampered by the myriad real-world difficulties of finding and coordinating with others. Our new group-forming media have removed many of those difficulties, and we are in the middle of a transformation of all kinds of group action.

Justin Franks said: "Very interesting chronicle of putting a wiki together. I like the metaphor of a barn, as it does give an accurate depiction of the group effort required to build a wiki.
