"Clear thinking and good writing about big changes." -Stewart Brand
"Clay Shirky may be the finest thinker we have on the Internet
revolution, but Here Comes Everybody is more than just a technology
book; it's an absorbing guide to the future of society itself.
Anyone interested in the vitality and influence of groups of human
beings -from knitting circles, to political movements, to
multinational corporations-needs to read this book." -Steven
Johnson, author of "Everything Bad Is Good for You" and "Emergence"
"How do trends emerge and opinions form? The answer used to be
something vague about word of mouth, but now it's a highly
measurable science, and nobody understands it better than Clay
Shirky. In this delightfully readable book, practically every page
has an insight that will change the way you think about the new era
of social media. Highly recommended." -Chris Anderson,
editor-in-chief of "Wired" Magazine and author of "The Long Tail"
"In story after story, Clay masterfully makes the connections as to
why business, society and our lives continue to be transformed by a
world of net- enabled social tools. His pattern-matching skills are
second to none." -Ray Ozzie, Microsoft Chief Software Architect
"Clay has long been one of my favorite thinkers on all things
Internet-- not only is he smart and articulate, but he's one of
those people who is able to crystallize the half-formed ideas that
I've been trying to piece together into glittering, brilliant
insights that make me think, yes, of course, that's how it all
works." --Cory Doctorow, co-editor of Boing Boing and author of
"Overclocked: Stories of the Future Present".
