Why you should read Here Comes Everybody
Author Clay Shirky tackles a daunting task: He sets out to explain how new electronic media are transforming society. In itself, that sounds common enough, but Shirky’s focus and specificity raise his book to a level of much greater value and utility than its peers. He examines the social nature of human beings, and analyzes how tools ranging from e-mail to text messages change the way people organize into groups. His style is easy, and he tells vivid, interesting and highly convincing stories to illustrate the changes he observes. The result is a book that anyone dealing with group organization and communication should read. getAbstract recommends this innovative work to marketers, social critics, readers interested in human nature, and entrepreneurs who hope to tap into or develop new social structures.
About the Author

The reviews of such books are only shallow exercises in futility. Both authors and reviewers lack the intellectual equipment to analyze their subject matter for implications or covert design. Such low-brow comic book approaches to the reality of literature is a glowing, radioactive sign of elemental intellectual decay. When I read this drivel, seeking useful information, its as if I am sifting through the ashes of a morons distorted view of pseudo reality. |
