<![CDATA[Jon Lebkowsky and I have put together a book about the online activism of the past 18 months and what it means for politics generally. We're going to be doing a post-election version of the book for a publisher to be named, but have permission to place what we have now online at www.extremedemocracy.com, so that folks can read and use the ideas therein during this election cycle. With essays by Howard Rheingold, Steven Johnson, Joi Ito, Jim Moore and others, the book can be downloaded and read in PDF form, and there’s a blog interface for joining the discussion.
The first half of the book is posted now and the rest will be up shortly. Join the discussion.]]>

Editorial commitments kept me away from the conference. Wish we’d connected.
This is the book, in a way, I was talking about last year — my chapters are parts of the work I was putting together then.
