Here Comes Everybody is his latest book. In the book he discusses how wikis, blogs and other contemporary telecommunications devices are fundamentally changing society.

  3. Sounds like an interesting read... Have you read "The World is Flat"? It is, by far, one of the most interesting books I've read.
