Good analysis, a bit repetitive [Posted on 2008-09-14]
Definitely worth its price.
Most basic concepts are repeated often and it may be annoying, but then probably they are so new, that the author felt the need to hammer them home.
A good eye opener.
An Excellent school book [Posted on 2008-09-28]
I had to purchase this book for an online college-credit class and I really enjoyed the book! The class was Writing for the Digital Age and Shirky's book talked a lot about present and future times of texting and new media! It is an easy read and very informational. I actually looked forward to reading it!
Great Quality Political Analysis [Posted on 2008-10-02]
Clay Shirky provides insightful and well-developed analysis of today's new technology and its possible impact on politics and other areas of society, such as journalism. This is interspersed with stories to keep the reader interested. All in all, I am very glad I purchased this book.
New challenges [Posted on 2008-10-16]
i found this book absolutely fascinating - it poses for me a very interesting question: we know that the internet as caused big changes in society, but i wonder too if it hasn't also exposed some false assumptions about society. This is what Shirky seems to be saying: people have always wanted to act collectively but until now it has been very difficult to do so. I wonder too if it doesn't demand a rethink of cultural studies, which is premised on a notion of the average person and their response to mass communication. With the internet one could say neither of these things exists anymore. This is Shirky's thesis: there is no average internet user, nor is there mass communication.
expansion of concepts [Posted on 2008-10-16]
Every entrepreneur and would-be "thought leader" should know and implement the leadership strategies and concepts found in this book. Technology keeps coming our way, too fast to realize, with implications that are hard to recognize at first. Thus books such as this one help us bear our bearings.
And what are the next trends, the next wants and desires in the marketplace... and how can we know about them, beforehand? For an all-out briefing that allows you to fully implement strategies contained in my own book, "The Expert's Edge"... get this book and read it carefully all the way through!
