Opis

Since the postwar boom, we've had a surfeit of intellect, energy and time, a cognitive surplus. Shirky argues that this cognitive surplus, rather than being some strange new departure from normal behaviour, actually returns our society to forms of collaboration that were natural to us up to and through the early 20th century.

Recenzje

Lucid and assured ... the most amazing fact about Shirky's incisive manual for building a better world is this: it's just possible that everything he promises may be true Guardian
