Title: Here Comes Everybody

Author: Clay Shirky

Suggested by: August Jackson

Question it answers: Why we are going through the biggest change in how we communicate the world has ever seen.  

Why you should care: Most books on “new media” focus on the what.  This is the only book truly dedicated to the why.

  • Steve,

    Firstly thanks for the heads up on twitter. And thank you for providing such a great resource in summerizing books via video - well produced and succinct. I have been listening to this while working, love your idea and will be passing it on to me friends for certain. I'll also blog about you on www.startupblog.wordpress.com - For someone who is addicted to reading, it'll help me choose my books, and keep me up to date until I get to rad them all.

    Cheers,
    Steve Sammartino
