Description
My new book, Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations, is coming out in February 2008, from Penguin Press. Here Comes Everybody is about what happens when people are given the tools to do things together, without needing traditional organizational structures.
It's coming out first in the US and the UK, and can be pre-ordered at booksellers everywhere. (Later this year, there will be a Dutch, Portuguese, Chinese and Korean translations.)
Along with the book, I am launching a Here Comes Everybody blog, designed to both chronicle and extend the themes of the book. I'm delighted to finally have to book out, and to be able to begin blogging about it. In addition, this site collects many of my older writings, from which many of the themes of the book arose.
Thanks, as always, for reading, -clay
