+ Clay Shirky: Here Comes Everybody

03.01.08 | Permalink |

Congrats, Clay!

Karen, Dennis and I went back to ITP last night to celebrate Clay’s book release for Here Comes Everybody.

Clay was so instrumental to our experience at ITP and served as a inspiration for a lot of the ideas we ultimately explored with dodgeball. I feel very fortunate to have been able to cross paths with him academically, professionally and personally.

Back to the book. Go check it out. I promise you’ll learn something. But if you don’t want to take my word for it, take it from Stephen Johnson , someone who’s written a few great ones himself:

“Clay Shirky may be the finest thinker we have on the Internet revolution, but Here Comes Everybody is more than just a technology book; it’s an absorbing guide to the future of society itself. Anyone interested in the vitality and influence of groups of human beings -from knitting circles, to political movements, to multinational corporations-needs to read this book.”

-Steven Johnson, author of Everything Bad Is Good for You and Emergence
