Kostakis & Bauwens: Network Society and Future Scenarios for a Collaborative Economy | David Bollier
Michel Bauwens and Vasilis Kostakis have just published a new book that offers a rich, sophisticated critique of our current brand of capitalism, and looks to current trends in digital collaboration to propose the outlines of the next, network-based economy and society.

I was pleased to spend several days in Valparaiso with Michel Bauwens, one of the authors of this book. Michel is a good, nice and very smart guy. But more important: through these conversations I was introduce to a set of concepts which represent the tip of some very big and widespread social and technical changes now afoot.
I've bought this book. You should buy it too. It's expensive. But it's short! And it's one of those rare books that are transformational. By the time you have reached the last page, you will never see the world in quite the same way again.
