      abstract = {An examination of how the rapid spread of new forms of  social interaction enabled by technology is changing the  way humans form groups and exist within them, with profound  long-term economic and social effects--for good and for  ill. Our age's new technologies of social networking are  evolving, and evolving us, into new groups doing new things  in new ways, and old and new groups alike doing the old  things better and more easily. Hierarchical structures that  exist to manage the work of groups are seeing their raisons  d'e^tre swiftly eroded by the rising tide. Business models  are being destroyed, transformed, born at dizzying speeds,  and the larger social impact is profound. Clay Shirky is  one of our wisest observers of the transformational power  of the new forms of tech-enabled social interaction, and  this is his reckoning with the ramifications of all this on  what we do and who we are.--From publisher description.},
