Back in the UK, Charles Leadbeater’s next book is available online for comment. We-think is less immersive than other network book projects, but it’s great that Profile, joint small publisher of the year, have allowed this to go ahead – most publishers shy away from releasing content free.
We-think is about the power of mass creativity, charting the rise of mass, participative approaches to innovation from science and open source software, to computer games and political campaigning. The website interface does not make dipping into the book very easy, sticking to a more linear style – there’s also a Wiki version – but it does make commenting on it very easy. We particularly like the fact that commentators seem to be line editing the book as well as commenting on its content. Oh, if people would that for my books.
