Here Comes Everybody by Clay Shirky, (Read Via Kindle for iPad)

This book started out a little slow but picked up dramatically. I do have to say that Shirky defiantly made me look at the modern organizing lens is a different perspective. He makes good points on how the net has changed everyone forever, and raises the valid point that it was responsible for linux more than anything else due the the large community on the net. Before this book I have grown wary of the concept of online organizing and an effective tool for large problems. Now not so much. 

Yes, Shirky does come off as a little bit of a geek, but he does have some valid points. This book reminds me of the Audible program METAtropolis, Specifically Tobias Buckell’s piece within it, read by Scott Brink (most of the other short stories were not for me, however I loved Buckell’s piece. Its worth the credit just for that 2 hours). We are working are way into a modern way of organizing, and have started to see it happen. But we are just at the beginning.

7/10 (for being a tad slow at the start)
